A metabolite is any substance that takes part in metabolism, either as a part of it, something it makes, or something left over. For many substances we ingest, including medication and food, our bodies must first break these down into smaller compounds so these can be used and then removed from the body.
A metabolite is a breakdown substance that is generated in the process of trying to use and then remove a compound from the human body.
Drug metabolism is the process where the body, mostly in the liver, changes a drug or medicine into other substances called drug metabolites. These metabolites can be active or inactive, and sometimes more or less potent than the original drug. Special liver enzymes carry out these changes, but their activity can be influenced by other medicines or foods, which may affect how strong or weak the effect is.
