Children have a relatively fast metabolism of drugs in comparison to adults. Why?
-Humans are born with more liver enzymes and they gradually lose them as they age.
-Their liver is proportionately larger in comparison to the rest of their body.
-They acquire extra metabolic enzymes via breast milk which persist for many years.
-The statement is false - the immaturity of a child's liver means it will not be able to metabolise
drugs as well as adults.
