◉ Describe the sequence of events that a drug undergoes from
administration to excretion.
Answer: Drug is absorbed (or placed directly) into the bloodstream,
the drug may bind with plasma in the blood or may exist in free
state, circulating blood distributes drug to capillary level where it
leaves circulation and enters interstitial fluid. it bathes the cell and
allows drug to bind to cell surface receptors or enter the cell. It then
exits the cell and moves back into interstitial fluid, reenters
circulation, and is transported to liver for metabolism. The
metabolite is then transported to kidneys for excretion.
