Talk:Area under the curve (pharmacokinetics)

F vs. f

In textbooks generally f (lower case) is used and F (capital letter) for BA given in percent. Though the former is more common in the PK community, following the OMA-principle I lean towards the latter. Furthermore, non-IV is clumsy. What about using extravascular (with an explanation in the text above) and changing the formula to

$F_{abs}(\%)=100\times \left({\frac {AUC_{EV}}{AUC_{IV}}}\ \right)\times \left({\frac {Dose_{IV}}{Dose_{EV}}}\ \right)$
