depends on blood flow, capillary permeability, the degree of binding of the drug
to plasma and tissue proteins, and the relative hydrophobicity of the drug.

Excipient:

Vehicle.  A more or less inert substance added in a prescription as a diluent or
vehicle or to give form or consistency when the remedy is given in pill form;
simple syrup, aromatic powder, honey, and various elixirs are examples.

Gel:

A colloidal state in which the molecules of the dispersed phase form a three-
dimensional structure in the continuous phase to produce a semisolid material
such as a jelly.  For example, a warm, dilute(2 percent) solution of gelatin(a
protein mixture) forms, on cooling, a stiff gel in which the molecules of the
continuous phase are trapped in the holes of a "brush-heap" like structure of
the gelatin.  Administered orally.

Microemulsion:

Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, optically transparent, isotropic
mixtures of a biphasic oil-water system stabilized with surfactants.  The
diameter of droplets in a microemulsion may be in the range of 100 A to 1000 A.
Microemulsion may be formed spontaneously b...
