I have been taking doxylamine succinate daily for a sleep problem. I was told that it is a safe and effective OTC medication. My recent labs revealed impaired renal function. Prior to taking this medication, my labs were normal. I don't drink alcohol, but I have gained 25lbs since I started taking this medication. I'm about 30lbs overweight.

What does the liver do with the different substances it absorbs?

The Liver has many functions; the most prominent being the absorption of High-density lipo proteins (Bad cholesterol). Normally, the foods we eat are "categorised" by the body and various processes take place. The liver controls cholesterol and is important in controlling blood sugar levels. Sugar is converted into glycogen in the pancreas, then this glycogen is absorbed by muscles for energy. If your blood sugar level decreases, your liver secretes a hormone called Glucagon. Glucagon converts the stored Glycogen back into normal sugar (Glucose). That's a lot of "G's", but the liver also does many more vital jobs in our body. I'm not really associated with the liver but I hope I have helped!
