Which of the following statements about enterohepatic recirculation and biliary excretion is CORRECT? Select one alternative: A step involving enzymes or gut bacteria cleaving the parent drug to its metabolite is essential for enterohepatic recirculation to occur If the fraction of a drug dose that undergoes biliary excretion is minimal, then enterohepatic recirculation is likely to be clinically significant for that drug Enterohepatic recirculation can reduce a person's drug exposure by $20\%$ or more, compared to if enterohepatic recirculation were not occurring Biliary excretion of a drug only occurs for drugs that are metabolised to a glucuronide conjugate None of the other statements are correct Maximum marks: 2
