So, Mr. G goes from have 70% bioavailability of the digoxin to 90% meaning more is
available to
reach systemic circulation and possibly cause dig toxicity

-metals in antacids (aluminum, calcium, magnesium)and calcium in milk can interfere
with absorption of antibiotics
( especially tetracycline)
Dosage formulation -> - Answer- the higher the dose the faster the absorption.
BF a drug can be absorbed it must dissolve.
rate of dissolution determines rate of absorption- differences based on formulation of
med-is it a tablet, enteric coated, SR capsules
Blood flow -> - Answer- absorption depends on normal blood flow. Food increases
blood flow which increases absorption.
