I Just Took a Pill...What Happens to It?

ID : 1197   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Many of us frequently take oral medications. Did you ever wonder what happens next to that tablet or capsule? Does the medicine dissolve in your stomach? How does the medicine get to where it needs to go? Why are some medicines taken once a day while others are taken more frequently? We’ll answer these and other questions by following the arduous voyage the pill takes through the hostile environment of the stomach to the intestines, where absorption occurs, and then to the liver and on to delivery into the blood circulation and tissues to provide that intended effect. We will also touch upon other routes of dosing such as intravenous and intramuscular injections and why they are preferred in some circumstances.
