drugs metabolism

Drug metabolism is the process by which your body breaks down medications to make them easier to eliminate. After you take a drug, your liver mainly transforms it through chemical reactions, often converting it into more water-soluble substances. These transformed compounds are then excreted through urine or bile. Metabolism varies among individuals due to genetics, age, liver function, and other factors, influencing how quickly or effectively a drug works and how long it stays in your system. Overall, this process helps ensure drugs are safely removed once they’ve served their purpose in your body.
