Explanation:

The partial pressure of oxygen in alveolus is greater than partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood in a pulmonary capillary and this concentration difference is important for the movement of air(oxygen) from the alveolus to the pulmonary capillary because gases move from higher concentration to lower concentration.

i take 25mg of trazodone for depression, but i was told to take it at night. i feel like it’s not working because it wears off b

babunello [35]

Answer:

Ok so trazodone is basically supposed to help you for sleep. Taking it at night would be the best option so that you can sleep peacefully at night. If you take it in the day time, it would be less effective than it is for you at night. I would suggest talking to your doctor more about this rather than taking advice from me, who is nowhere near a doctor. Have a great day/night!!
