Oral L-carnitine: metabolite formation and hemodialysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Various transporters, including efflux transporters and uptake transporters, play an important role in the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Currently, studies suggest that several antibiotics also serve as substrates for transporters. In addition, these antibiotics are usually combined with other drugs to treat di...
