Which drugs had high first pass effect_____________?

Correct answer: C. Verapamil

  • A. Amiodarone
  • B. Phenytoin
  • C. Verapamil
  • D. Disorpyamide

Explanation

Verapamil undergoes substantial hepatic first-pass metabolism, so its oral bioavailability is much lower than its parenteral availability. This is why oral doses are higher than equivalent IV doses.
