The addition of glucuronic acid to a substrate is glucuronidation. It is used in xenobiotic metabolism of various substances that include drugs, androgens, estrogens, and retinoids.

The process of enzymatic oxidation and glucuronidation generally accomplishes this.

Assuming you are referring to the drug "Mucinex", the active ingredient in Mucinex is guaifenesin. Guaifenesin is primarily metabolized in the liver through glucuronidation, a process in which a molecule called glucuronic acid is attached to guaifenesin to make it more water-soluble and easily excreted by the kidneys. The resulting glucuronide conjugate is then eliminated in the urine.

Guaifenesin has a half-life of approximately 1 to 3 hours in adults, meaning that it takes this amount of time for the body to eliminate half of the drug. The drug is eliminated primarily through the kidneys and urine, with very little eliminated through feces.

It is important to note that different drugs may have different metabolism pathways and elimination half-lives, and some drugs may be affected by factors such as age, gender, liver and kidney function, and other medications being taken concurrently. Therefore, it is always important to consult with a healthcare professional regarding any specific questions about drug metabolism and elimination.

Most cats will not drink any kind of juice. First of all, cats are strictly carnivores, and do not usually like to eat or drink anything but animal products (meat, eggs, dairy).

Moreover, juice is too harsh, acidic, and abrasive for their heightened senses. In particular, cats really, really hate any and all citrus fruit -- lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit -- and will physically recoil if you put a cup of orange juice up in their face to smell.

There are some odd exceptions. My uncle once had a cat that loved to eat oranges. Just oranges, though, not orange juice. But most cats will not touch fruit and especially fruit juice.
