Complex Interactions

Complex picture of drug interactions in the body. This slide gives an idea of the complexity of drug disposition. Shown in this slide are many of the steps to getting drug from one site in the body to another. Many of these processes are enzyme induced. However the overall picture often is much simpler. Many of these processes maybe fast or not significant for any given drug.
