Question

For maximum bioavailability, drug should be targeted at:

• A. \( \text{Stomach} \)
• B. \( \text{Small intestine} \)
• C. \( \text{Large intestine} \)
• D. \( \text{Colon} \)

Hint:

Enhancing drug solubility and permeability improves bioavailability, ensuring effective therapeutic outcomes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The small intestine is the primary site for drug absorption due to its large surface area and extensive blood supply. It contains transport proteins and metabolic enzymes that facilitate drug uptake and bioavailability. Many orally administered drugs are formulated to target absorption in the small intestine for maximum efficacy.
