Question:

The drug Valacyclovir is absorbed in the body by which mechanism of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-


transport?
1. Passive
i,-




2. Active
i,-




3. Facilitated?

Answer:

2. Active Transport
i,- i,-




The drug valacyclovir, an antiviral, has an amino acid attached to acyclovir.
