- Velocity with which the reaction occurs
- Depends on:
 Reactant concentration
 Temperature
 pH
 presence of solvents or additive

Order of Reaction – the way in which the concentration of the drug or reactant in a chemical reaction affects rate

Zero-order Reaction
- the drug concentration changes with respect to time at constant rate
- the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactants 𝑪 = −𝒌𝟎 𝒕 + 𝑪𝟎
- eg. Alcohol, aspirin, phenytoin

First-order Reaction
𝑪 = 𝑪𝟎 𝒆−𝒌𝒕
- the rate of reactions dependent on the concentration of drug remaining
or
- most drugs follow this reaction
- Ex: t1/2: 2 hrs
𝒍𝒏𝑪 = −𝒌𝒕 + 𝒍𝒏𝑪𝟎

Second-order Reactions
- reaction is dependent on the squared amount of drug remaining
- no application in pharmaceutical dosage form

Half-life (t ½ )
- the period of time required for the amount or concentration of a drug to decrease by one-half or 50%. the time
