Q

anorexiants pharmacokinetics

A
  • absorption: by stomach and small intestine (depends on if regular or SR)
  • distribution: well as lipid soluble agents (crosses blood brain barier)
  • metabolism: liver
  • excretion: through kidneys to urine
  • half-life: 2-20 hours (duration of action for regular 4-6h, SR is 8-10h)
