A member asked:
Could gallbladder problems affect absorption of medications or how they work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not: Excellent question - the gallbladder stores and excretes bile which assist in helping the body emulsify/digest fat. This should not affect the absorption of medications - liver and kidney function have the most effect on how medications work.
