Some studies have proven that climate changes, especially the increase in temperature, affect the pharmacokinetics and thus drug absorption, distribution in the body, and disposal. It is worth noting that the absorption of the drug increases in the event of exposure to heat as a result of expansion of the blood vessels and an increase in the speed of blood circulation, especially if the drugs are administered locally under the skin. However, all of these studies are weak and have not been proven 100%, like the rest of the studies that have proven the inevitable effect of the following factors on the absorption of drugs in the body:

  1. The drug is soluble in water or in fat.
  2. The molecular size of the drug.
  3. How much the drug is ionized.
  4. The pharmaceutical form of the drug.
  5. The concentration of the drug.
  6. Chemical drug combination.
  7. Take medications or other foods.
  8. Digestive health.
  9. Presence of certain other diseases.
