Rationale 1: Most bile is circulated back to the liver so drugs secreted into the bile will be recirculated numerous times with the bile, resulting in a prolonged action of the drug.
Rationale 2: Side effects may or may not be increased; this is dose dependent.
Rationale 3: Bile-excreted drugs do not have decreased side effects.
Rationale 4: Bile-excreted drugs do not have a decreased effect.
Global Rationale: Most bile is circulated back to the liver so drugs secreted into the bile will be recirculated numerous times with the bile, resulting in a prolonged action of the drug. Bile-excreted drugs do not have a decreased effect, nor are side effects decreased. Side effects may or may not be increased; this is dose dependent.
