22
Q

Older adults elimination

A

-dec blood flow, GFR, secretion and reabsorption
-dec cl of drugs eliminated by GFR and active secretion

23
Q

sex differences in PK

A
25
Q

Absorption in women

A

-transit time longer
-bioavailability of alc is greater
-(diff in Vd and gastric alcohol dehydrogenase activity)
-no difference in BAC

26
Q
