Abstract : The process through which drugs and/or their metabolites are removed from the body is known as excretion. Drugs can be excreted in their original (unchanged) form as well as in their active or inactive metabolites.
Kidneys are the primary site of excretion of the drugs. Thus, renal excretion refers to the excretion of the drug through kidneys, whereas non-renal excretion is the excretion of drugs through other routes of excretion other than kidneys, such as lungs, intestine, breast milk, biliary system, sweat glands, and salivary glands.
Keywords : EXCRETION, breast milk, biliary system, sweat glands,salivary glands.
