Newswise: Body Posture Affects How Oral Drugs Absorbed by Stomach
5-Aug-2022 3:10 PM EDT
Body Posture Affects How Oral Drugs Absorbed by Stomach
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

A common method of administering drugs is orally, by swallowing a pill or capsule. But oral administration is the most complex way for the human body to absorb an active pharmaceutical ingredient, because the bioavailability of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract depends on the medication's ingredients and the stomach's dynamic physiological environment. In Physics of Fluids, researchers from employ a biomimetic in-silico simulator based on the realistic anatomy and morphology of the stomach – a "StomachSim" – to investigate and quantify the effect of body posture and stomach motility on drug bioavailability.
