Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following can lead to decreased drug absorption?
  • Step 1: Understand what drug absorption means. It is the process by which a drug enters the bloodstream after being taken.
  • Step 2: Learn about intestinal motility. This refers to how quickly food and substances move through the intestines.
  • Step 3: Recognize that if intestinal motility is increased, food and drugs move faster through the intestines.
  • Step 4: Realize that when things move too quickly, there is less time for the drug to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
  • Step 5: Conclude that increased intestinal motility can lead to decreased drug absorption because the drug doesn't have enough time to be absorbed.
