If a medication is protein-bound (i.e. albumin), they are not available for metabolism. Therefore, the more the drug is bound to protein, the less is metabolized.

Is the drug distribution site where a drug is metabolized to different components?
Yes. Most of the drugs are metabolized by the liver, as the liver is the organ for metabolism.

Most are, the vast majority of drugs being broken down by the liver. Some (e.g. lithium carbonate) however are simply excreted without modification though the kidneys.
How does the kinetics of alcohol metabolism differ from that of other drugs?
alchol is metabolized before real food
How to rid prescription drugs from the bloodstream?
It depends on the drug. Different drugs are metabolized by different processes in the body. Ask a pharmacist about the drug(s) you are interested in.

Most drugs are excreted in the kidneys or filtered through the liver. You can find drugs in your bloodstream and your urine. Sometimes it is excreted through the sweat.
How long after a person dies can you test them for drugs?
That depends on the drug and how the person died. For example cannabis stores in fat cells and will remain there until the fats cells brake down. If the person dies while drowning (for example) the break down period will increase. Other drugs leave the body or are metabolized very quickly There is really no single answer to this question.

Will taking Omeprazole and Ritalin at the same time lesson the effects of the Ritalin?
Ritalin is metabolized in the body by CYP2D6, a member of the Cytochrome P450 Enzyme System.Omeprazole is a member of the PPI family of drugs (Proton Pump Inhibitors).PPI's are known to inhibit CYP2C19 = this inhibition would allow drugs metabolized by this enzyme to linger in the body = exerting their effect for a longer period of time.Having said that, metabolic pathways in the body are by no means black & white...it could very well be the case that certain drugs (ie. Ritalin) are metabolized by a combination of these P450 enzymes.For more information on drug-drug interactions search inhibitors of:CYP3A4CYP2D6CYP2C9
Is It True That Most Drugs Are Eliminated By The Kidneys In Urine Although Some Are Excreted In Saliva Sweat Or Exhalation?
