Most drugs undergo ______________ ______________ of elimination
Fill in the blank(s) with correct word
first-order: Most drugs undergo first-order kinetics of elimination, whereby drug elimination is proportional to drug concentration. That is to say, after a drug is given orally, it will be absorbed by passive diffusion, and the blood levels attained will be proportional to the dose administered. Thus, the greater the dose administered, the larger will be the blood level concentration. As the drug is eliminated from the body, the concentration of the drug in the plasma will decrease equally over time.
