Study Set Content:
This is a test done on biochemical drugs to know how long a drug is stable when kept at a certain temperatur
Half-life
The storage condition required can be estimated by the biochemical test. For example, many enzymes, hormones are stored for dispensing. These get deteriorated over time due to temperature or oxidation, contamination, and also due to improper storage
Drug storage
It also gives an idea of how drug molecules are metabolized by many biochemical reactions in the presence of enzymes. This helps to avoid drugs that have a poor metabolism or those with excessive side effects from being prescribed or dispensed to the patient.
Drug metabolism
is a chemical substance found within a living organism.
