What is first pass effect of legal anti psychotic drugs?

The first-pass effect refers to the metabolism of a drug when it is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and passes through the liver before entering systemic circulation. For legal antipsychotic drugs, this means that a significant portion of the medication may be metabolized and inactivated by the liver, potentially reducing its therapeutic efficacy. Consequently, oral doses may need to be adjusted to ensure sufficient levels reach the bloodstream to achieve the desired clinical effect. This phenomenon is important in the pharmacokinetics of antipsychotic medications.
