33 CHAPTER 2 Drug Action and Drug Interactions The First Pass Effect The most common way drugs are administered is orally, by swallowing a pill. The drug is then absorbed into the GI tract and enters the portal circulation system where drug particles are transported through the portal vein into the liver where the drug is metabolized. This is referred to as the first pass effect. Not all drugs are metabolized in the liver. Some drugs bypass the first pass effect by sublingual administration (under the tongue) or buccal administration (between the gums and the cheek) where they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the mouth.
Volatile drugs such as anesthetics and drugs that are metabolized to CO2 and H20, are excreted through the lungs. Sweat and salivary glands are not a major route of drug elimination because elimination depends on the diffusion of lipid-soluble drugs through the epithelial cells of the glands. However, side effects of drugs, such as rashes and skin reactions, can be seen at these sites. Some intravenously administered drugs are excreted into saliva and cause the patient to taste the drug. Eventually, drugs that are excreted into saliva are swallowed, reabsorbed, and eliminated in urine.
