This process reduces the elimination of drugs and prolongs their half-life and duration of action in the body. Choice 1 is the amount of drug eliminated by the liver. Choice 2 is the sum of all types of clearance including renal, hepatic, and respiratory. Choice 4 is the amount of drug absorbed from the GI tract, then metabolized by the liver (reducing the amount of drug that makes it into circulation).Pharmacological Therapies
