Liver failure decreases metabolism and thus increase the concentration of medication. This may
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
require decreasing the dosage of medication. When two medications are metabolized in the same
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
way, they may compete for metabolism, thereby increasing the concentration of one or both
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
medications.
Il` Il`
Increased renal excretion may decrease concentration of the medication, requiring increased
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
dosage. Increased medication-metabolizing enzymes can decrease the concentration of the
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
medication. The dose might need increased. Peripheral vascular disease may impair distribution,
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
