How Drugs Work

The hosts explain the process of drug action in the body, from administration to elimination. This conversation highlights the importance of bioavailability and bioequivalence, which determine how much of a drug reaches the target site and how effective it is compared to other formulations. They also discuss the different routes of administration, drug interactions at receptor sites, and the ADME process (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) in addition to emphasizing the significance of drug concentration in achieving desired therapeutic effects while minimizing toxicity.
