Common "Excretion" queries answered by top doctors

Excretion

"Drug excretion or elimination is the removal of pharmaceutical substances from the body. Various pathways may be involved in excreting drugs from the body. While some drugs get eliminated in the original dosage form, other drugs may undergo metabolism before excretion. The kidneys are the major organs for the excretion of water-soluble substances. The biliary system also contributes to excreting drugs that do not reabsorb from the gastrointestinal tract.

In most cases, a small amount of drug excretion occurs in the intestine, saliva, sweat, feces, breast milk, and lungs. In addition, some volatile anesthetics may get exhaled through the lungs.
