    Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Disease States and Pharmacology

    Multiple disease states can significantly influence the oral drug absorption process by affecting blood flow and the functionality of the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Various GI diseases, including conditions that alter GI motility, such as diarrhea, decreased acid secretions (achlorhydria), and infections, have been associated with reduced drug absorption.
    Substances such as alcohol and specific drugs, including antineoplastics, can also negatively impact drug absorption. For instance,...
