What Are the Implications of Reabsorption in Toxicology?
Reabsorption can have several implications for toxicology:
- Prolonged Exposure: If a toxic substance is reabsorbed, it may remain in the body longer, increasing the risk of chronic exposure and toxicity. - Dose Adjustment: Understanding reabsorption is crucial for determining appropriate dosing regimens for drugs to avoid toxicity. - Drug Interactions: Some drugs may inhibit or enhance the reabsorption of co-administered substances, leading to potential toxicity or reduced efficacy.
