title: Pharmacokinetic data processed by microcomputer for the formulation of optimal drug dosage form.
abstract: Microcomputers have been used in pharmacokinetics for several years, but their use in the area of formulation is a new application. By using appropriate data on the drug, the dosage form required and its mechanism of absorption and clearance, microcomputers can systematize and speed-up formulation, simplify manufacturing processes and, through simulated models and plasma level predictions, reduce the number of bioavailability studies needed.
