all disease can be reduced to biological causes in the body; typically,
treatments of those diseases are also biological in character, such as surgery
or medications.
The first pass effect is a phenomenon in which a
drug gets metabolized at a specific location in the body that results in a
reduced concentration of the active drug upon reaching its site of action or
the systemic circulation.

optimum therapeutic effect.
