27 lut 2024 · Before orally administered drugs reach the circulation, they can be metabolized within the gut wall or the liver. This is known as first-pass metabolism, which will decrease the amount of active drug absorbed. Food content appears to affect the absorption rate of many orally administered drugs.
Before an orally absorbed drug reaches systemic circulation, it must first pass through the intestine, and then the liver where drug metabolism known as pre-systemic metabolism may occur. This is known more commonly as the first-pass effect.
