Where most drugs are broken down?
Most drugs are excreted in the kidneys or filtered through the liver. You can find drugs in your bloodstream and your urine. Sometimes it is excreted through the sweat.
How are drugs absorbed and metabolized?
This entirely depends on the drug itself, some drugs can be absorbed thru the skin, such as lsd, novacain, and a few others, but most require injestion and contact with a mucus membrane, such as nasal membranes, mouth, stomach, etc... Differant drugs will pass thru them at differant rates, some drugs can be put up the nose, such as cocain or otrivin, others need time in the stomach or intestines, and still others will not be active unless injected. The metabolism of drugs is just as varied, some drugs are destroyed by stomach acid or enzymes, others need them to be active, some are active in their normal state and will be metabolised instantly, others need to be converted into an active chemical in the blood or liver. Drugs can either act on the body or the mind, either by affecting cells, or activating neural receptors. In order to answer this question effectivly, a specific drug would have to be named, since every single drug acts differantly in the body.
How are drugs with a molecular weight of less than 300mg excreted?
Drugs with a molecular weight of less than 300 mg are typically excreted through the kidneys via urine. This process involves filtration of the drug from the bloodstream into the kidney tubules, followed by reabsorption or secretion. The drug may also be excreted through bile into the gastrointestinal tract, where it can be eliminated in feces.
What are the only two substances that are absorbed across the stomach's mucosal epithelium?
alcohol, some drugs, some salts, and water
Why can soluble drugs be absorbed rapidly if placed under the tongue?
Placing drugs like Nitro under the tongue is so the body absorbs it faster due to the high vascularity in the mouth. Look under your tongue in the mirror! :)
Are most drugs given in oral form absorbed from the large intestine?
Most oral drugs or drugs taken by mouth travel to the stomach or intestine where they are absorbed into the bloodstream. These drugs are not effective or useful until they are absorbed into the bloodstream where they are transported to the organ or desired receptor.
The route of excretion of volatile drugs is through the?
kidney
Drugs that are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract are known as?
intrathecal
Can you mix penicillin and diclofenac potassium?
There is no logic behind mixing to drugs. You can take them together. Penicillin will be absorbed in the stomach and diclofenac is usually enteric coated. Diclofenac will be released in the small intestine and absorbed from there.

How are drugs carried around the body?
It depends on the intrinsic properties of the drug and the route of administration. Oral drugs are often absorbed from the GI tract into the hepatic portal vein, undergo first pass, and then reach the systemic circulation. They can be biotransformed (metabolized) in the liver, kidneys or even lungs. Most drugs are excreted by the kidneys into the urine, but some are excreted into bile by the liver. Blood flow to particular organs, and the relative lipophilicity of the drug affect how it will behave in the body. It's metabolism is also key in figuring out how it will be excreted.
How does drug effect man?
if we take medicine it take place undergoes ADME reaction in body eg when tablet diclofenac taken for pain and inflamation on body first it absorbed in stomach and disintegration takes place afterwards it absorbed by ciliary membrane present in small intestine by membrane diffusion method and enter in to systemic circulation some drugs directly went to liver for metabolism without enter in to intestine after the drug reaches liver it went to circulation and the drug carry out by suitable carrier precent over each cells and diclofenac prevent the prostaglandin synthesis in body so the inflamation prevented after distribution they metabolised and excreted through kidney and bile Effect of drug alter due to incompatibility such as drug -drug drug- food ect
Can prescription drugs get into your system by handling them?
Yes, some drugs can be absorbed into your system by handling them!
Is taking drugs through the rectal more potent?
Suppositories (rectal) are designed to be absorbed into the body a specific way to deliver the specific dose. Yes, any other drug absorbed rectally would be much more potent as it would skip first pass metabolism and be absorbed through the anal mucous membranes into the bloodstream.
Why does it take longer for drugs to be absorbed orally?
First, if it's a pill, it has to dissolve in the body. Absorption through the stomach is slowed down by the mucus lining of the stomach and whatever else is already in there. A lot of drug absorption takes place in the small intestine. Some pills are coated with a substance that stops them dissolving until they reach the small intestine. But they won't get there until the stomach pushes them into it, and the stomach leaves whatever arrives in it lying around for a while.
