Answer: the increased surface area aids in the better absorption of drugs.

Explanation: According to Noyes- Whitney equation, increased absorption of drugs depends on the rate of dissolution which is modified by altering the surface area. Reduction of the drug size from solid to powder form increases the specific surface area and the dissolution rate. This unique quantity makes it a fast acting medication since it's absorbed faster.

Answer:

Many fast- acting medications are sold as powders, sometimes inside soluble capsules. Why would these medications act faster than solid tablets

it is a known fact that surface area affects digestion, soluble capsule which has been broken down to powdery form will penetrate faster than the solid ones which will take a longer time to get broken into particles before penetration.

the higher the solubility the higher the digestion or penetration of this drugs, thus; the faster the rate of its work vice versa

enkephalin-induced depression of single neurons in brain areas with opiate receptors—antagonism by naloxone
kicyunya [14]

Induced depression of single neurons in brain areas with opiate receptors

  • Enkephalin, applied microiontophoretically, depressed spontaneous and glutamate-induced firing of  one neuron in frontal cortex, caudate nucleus, and periaqueductal gray matter, where enkephalin and high concentrations of opiate receptors are met.
  • More than one depressions were blocked by the specific narcotic antagonist naloxone. The results  are durable with a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role for this new brain pentapeptide.
  • Opium derivatives have been in medical use for the last  2000 years, and may be   longer than any other class of drugs
  • . The brain regions which was  involved in these actions have been identified in some instances by local microinjection of pmole quantities of opioids.
