Abstract
The present inventor has discovered chemical compounds which inhibit the first-pass effect of orally administered drugs in humans; that phototoxic low molecular weight furocoumarins and certain ether-substituted furocoumarins that are naturally present in citrus extracts, juices, byproducts, etc. may be removed therefrom or reduced in concentration without destroying the first-pass effect inhibiting compounds therein, and a method for preparing citrus-based compositions using only FDA or USP acceptable reagents.
