Bio-availability

Bio-availability refers to the proportion of a drug reaching the systemic circulation after a particular route of administration. The most important factor is ?rst-pass metabolism – that is, pre-systemic metabolism in either the intestine or the liver. Many lipid-soluble drugs such as beta blockers (see BETAADRENOCEPTOR-BLOCKING DRUGS), some tricyclic ANTIDEPRESSANT DRUGS, and various opiate ANALGESICS are severely affected. Food may affect bio-availability by modifying gastric emptying, thus slowing drug absorption. Ingested calcium may combine with drugs such as tetracyclines, further reducing their absorption.... bio-availability
