When we feel sick and our heads throbbing, we look for medicine. However, did you know that the speed at which the effect of the medicine appears can vary depending on the posture after taking the medicine?
Depending on the supine position, the rate of dissolution of the medicine varies
The study showed that the drug dissolved 2.5 times faster when lying on the right side than when sitting, while it was about 10 times slower when lying on the left side.
Interestingly, those who lay on their left side dissolved more slowly than those with gastroparesis. Depending on the position, people with a healthy stomach may have as much slower dissolution as people with gastric paralysis.
Why does the dissolution rate of the medicine vary depending on the supine position?
The reason why the dissolution rate of the medicine varies depending on the supine position is because the shape of the stomach is bent to the right. If you lie down on your right side immediately after taking the medicine, the medicine will be delivered to the right side of the stomach by gravity, and the muscles will contract in the pyloric sinuses, and the decomposition will be active. On the other hand, when you lie on your left side, the decomposition process slows down because the medicine moves away from the pyloric sinuses.
Recommended posture when taking medicine
When taking medicine, a sitting position is basically recommended. This is because lying down immediately after eating can cause problems such as acid reflux. However, if you have to lie down, it is better to lie on your right side rather than on the left, as it will dissolve the drug faster.
Of course, it's not always a good idea to lie on your right side. This is because if the drug dissolves in the stomach, it can leave the body before it can be absorbed.
