TransmucosalStateData

The state variables of a drug administered orally. The transmucosal and gastrointestinal routes converge to a common pathway when dissolved drug reaches the stomach (either as transmucosal drug that is swallowed or a pill that dissolves in stomach). Thus, we distinguish between the transmucosal and GI dissolution states during drug dissolution process, but use common elements thereafter. More...
