Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following factors can enhance drug absorption?
  • Step 1: Understand that drug absorption is how well a drug enters the bloodstream after being taken.
  • Step 2: Learn that lipid solubility means how well a drug can dissolve in fats or oils.
  • Step 3: Recognize that cell membranes are made of fats, so drugs that are lipophilic (fat-loving) can easily pass through these membranes.
  • Step 4: Conclude that if a drug has high lipid solubility, it can be absorbed better into the body.
