The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) is a system to differentiate drugs on the basis of their solubility and permeability.cite-ref-mehta-2016-1-0[1]
This system restricts the prediction using the parameters solubility and intestinal permeability. The solubility classification is based on a United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) aperture. The intestinal permeability classification is based on a comparison to the intravenous injection. All those factors are highly important because 85% of the most sold drugs in the United States and Europe are orally administered.
