Pharmaceutical Contract Bioavailability Testing Services

Bioavailability is defined as the concentration of the drug compound that reaches the systemic circulation or the site of action.

Most orally consumed pharmaceuticals reach the systemic circulation through the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability of drugs is measured by assessing the active ingredient (API) concentration of the drug and any metabolites in plasma or serum. The API concentration also helps in determining the active ingredient release from the drug compounds along with its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

Bioavailability testing service companies provide insight into the effectiveness of new products to reach the product’s intended efficacy.
