Question

What are the possible reasons for delayed and for enhanced absorption of a
drug after meals? Why biopharmaceutic studies that require the drug to h
taken orally, be performed in volunteers on empty stomach?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Like food, drugs taken by mouth must be absorbed through the lining of the stomach or the small intestine. Consequently, the presence of food in the digestive tract may reduce absorption of a drug. Often, such interactions can be avoided by taking the drug 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating.
