π Ever wondered where a tablet goes after you swallow it?
π§ First, the tablet breaks apart and the drug dissolves.
𧬠Much of the absorption happens through the small intestine.
π©Έ Absorbed molecules can travel through portal blood to the liver.
π― Molecules that reach circulation can then distribute to their biological targets.
π€― Most people don't realise that some orally absorbed medicines encounter the liver before reaching the rest of the body.
