Are all orally administered drugs first exposed to the liver before reaching the rest of the body?
Sep 27, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Most drugs are metabolized in the liver where the original ingredient is transformed into the active form that will exert the desired effect. Other fewer drugs do not undergo this kind of reaction and are directly taken up into the system.
