Binding
Drug-Herb Interactions—Chapter 3
Acidity
- —Acidity, or pH, plays a large role in absorption for some agents
- – Some drugs need a very _______environment in order to be absorbed, often in order to convert a drug into a form that is easily absorbable
- —_____ can also affect whether an agent is charged or neutral which has direct consequences as to whether it can easily pass through cell membranes
acidic
pH
Drug-Herb Interactions—Chapter 3
Gastrointestinal Motility
– GI motility mainly refers to intestinal __________
– Increased peristalsis means a FASTER intestinal transit
time, LESS contact with the wall of the intestines and
therefore LESS ability for absorption of the substance
– Of course, the opposite is also true.
– Either of these can have helpful or detrimental effects
– INCREASED motility of the GI tract may happen when
using _________ agents and prokinetic
gastrointestinal agents such as metoclopramide and
cisapride
— DECREASED peristalsis may occur when using
____-_______, narcotics, phenobarbital, and to a lesser
extent some anti-depressants and antipsychotics
peristalsis
