✔️✔️Absorption
Decreased gastric pH, Slowed gastric emptying, Movement through the entire GI tract
slowed, Blood flow to the GI tract decreased 40-50%
Distribution
Decreased percentage of total body water, Increased fat content as lean body mass
decreases, Fewer protein binding sites, specifically albumin
Metabolism
Decreased levels of microsomal enzymes, Hepatic metabolism decreased because of
less blood flow
Excretion
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreased 40-50%, Fewer intact nephrons
What is pharmacokinetics? - ✔️✔️What happens to the drug from the time is enters the

then goes through DISTRIBUTION by binding to plasma PROTEINS for transport
throughout the body. Unbound drug is considered a(n) FREE drug, and is active in the
blood.

which statement accurately describes what occurs? - ✔️✔️One drug blocks the other
