The peroral (po) bioavailability of nifedipine is reported to range from about 45 to 58% in the rat; this compares favourably to human beings. The metabolism of nifedipine is similar in rats and humans (oxidation of the dihydropyridine ring), with the liver believed to be solely responsible for the
Nitroglycerin administered orally undergoes substantial presystemic elimination. It was shown recently that first-pass hepatic metabolism of high clearance drugs can be substantially avoided uia rectal administration. In applying this concept to nitroglycerin in rats, it was found that unrestricted
