|
Answer» CORRECT option is (a) True For EXPLANATION I would say: ACCORDING to the pH-partition theory, Acidic drugs are best absorbed through the STOMACH where the pH is low and basic drugs are best absorbed through the intestine where the pH is high. In this condition, the molecules will be unionized and this helps them to GET absorbed better. |
