Bioavailability

Bioavailability

The rate and extent to which an active ingredient is absorbed from a drug product and becomes available at the site of action. For products that are not intended to be absorbed in the blood stream, bioavailability may be assessed by measurements intended to reflect the rate and extent to which the active ingredient becomes available at the site of action.
