First pass metabolism of a drug is said to occur when the concentration of a drug that is administered orally is significantly reduced before it reaches the systemic circulation.
First pass metabolism usually occur in the liver.
The routes of drug administration that avoid complete first pass metabolism are: sublingual, transdermal, rectal and inhalation.
My opinion is that EVEN IF there is anything that humans can do to save our species,

to do can any longer have any effect. And that's my opinion.
