drug absorption

Drug absorption is the process by which a medication enters the bloodstream from the site of administration, such as the stomach or skin. When you take a drug, it must pass through the lining of your digestive system or skin to reach your blood vessels. Factors like the drug's form, solubility, and the presence of food can influence how quickly and efficiently it is absorbed. Once absorbed, the drug can be distributed throughout your body to reach its target tissues or organs to produce its intended effect.
