How Does Your Body Process Medicine?
This interactive scrollable explores how the body breaks down medicines, such as pain relievers, to release the active ingredients that are then absorbed by the body. The active ingredients target the areas of the body where the medicine is needed. This interactive scrollable also looks at how different factors such as genetics, age, and diet influence an individual’s ability to process and respond to medication.
