How is dabigatran eliminated from the body?

  1. Through the liver

  2. Excreted in the feces

  3. Excreted extensively in the kidneys

  4. Through respiratory exhalation

The correct answer is: Excreted extensively in the kidneys

Dabigatran is eliminated from the body primarily through the kidneys, as it is excreted extensively in the urine. The incorrect options are A, B, and D. While the liver is responsible for metabolizing many drugs, dabigatran is primarily eliminated through the kidneys. Fecal excretion is not a significant route for elimination of dabigatran, and respiratory exhalation is not a known mechanism for eliminating this drug. Therefore, C is the best answer.
