drug elimination

Drug elimination is the process by which the body removes a medication after it has been used. Once a drug has done its job, it’s broken down mainly by the liver or kidneys into smaller parts called metabolites, which are then excreted through urine or feces. This process helps ensure the drug doesn’t build up in the body, which could cause harmful effects. The speed of elimination varies depending on the drug, the person’s age, kidney and liver health, and other factors. Efficient elimination is essential for maintaining proper drug levels and overall health.
