you've been eliminated

unlike reality shows, you can't vote a drug off your system if you want to eliminate it.

a drug gets eliminated by either ZERO ELIMINATION CONSTANT or FIRST ORDER ELIMINATION.

a zero order elimination is when the plasma concentration of a drug decreases linearly with time:


a drug with first order elimination has a rate of elimination proportional to the drug concentration:



from the graph you can see, the more drug in the system (the higher the plasma conc.), the faster the drug is eliminated.

drugs are also metabolized in the system propr to elimination. there are 2 phases of this metabolism.

phase I
includes reduction, oxidation and hydrolysis. it yields water soluble metabolites. sometimes a drug is activated after phase I metabolism. the cytochrome p450 system is connected to phase I. old patients lose phase I first!

phase II @ conjugation includes acetylation, glucuronidation, sulfation and yields inactive metabolites that are renally excreted.

  1. Here is a great herbal doctor who cured me of Hepatitis B. his name is Dr. Imoloa. I suffered Hepatitis B for 11 years, I was very weak with pains all over my body my stomach was swollen and I could hardly eat. And one day my brother came with a herbal medicine from doctor Imoloa and asked me to drink and I drank hence there was no hope, and behold after 2 week of taking the medicine, I started feeling relief, my swollen stomach started shrinking down and the pains was gone. I became normal after the completion of the medication, I went to the hospital and I was tested negative which means I’m cured.
