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