| Name 5 places where drug excretion occurs. | 1.Kidneys 2. GI/Biliary 3. Liver 4.Lungs 5. Exocrine |
| Describe excretion in the kidneys | Primary area, small unbound molecules, Renal extraction depends on the ph of the urine (which can be manipulated) |
| Describe excretion in the liver | First Pass effect. Metabolized by liver for easier filtration & excretion in kidneys. |
| Describe excretion in the GI/Bile | Some is unabsorbed and passed as feces. Some is delivered through bile to duodenum & passed. |
| Describe excretion in the Lungs | Largely unmetabolized. Rate depends on blood flow to the lungs, rate of breathing, gas solubility and diffusion. |

| Therapeutic lvel | range in which the drug is expected to be effective |
| Peak Level | max. concentration of a drug in the circulation |
| Trough level | lowest therapeutic concentration |
| Biological half-life | Time it takes to reduce plasma levels by 50%. Usually there are 4 half lives. |
