Biotransformation

Biotransformation of drugs, also known as drug metabolism, refers to the body’s process of chemically altering a drug to facilitate its elimination from the body. Drug metabolism is a vital pharmacokinetic process that occurs primarily in the liver, although other tissues and organs can also contribute to these reactions. The primary objectives of drug biotransformation […]
