Does Effexor stay in the body with ileostmy?

Answer 1

Effexor (venlafaxine) is primarily eliminated through the liver and kidneys. In individuals with an ileostomy, the absorption and elimination of medications can be affected due to changes in gastrointestinal function. However, Effexor itself does not specifically accumulate in the body due to an ileostomy; any potential alterations in its effects would depend on individual factors and the extent of the ileostomy's impact on absorption. It's important for patients with an ileostomy to discuss their medication management with their healthcare provider.
