High plasma protein binding of a drug results in:-
Correct Answer: Decreased glomerular filtration
Description: * High plasma protein binding (PPB) of a drug decreases its distribution into tissue and thus lower the volume of distribution. * As only free drug can be metabolized or excreted, high PPB usually increases the duration of action. * With higher PPB, there is more chance of getting displaced by other drugs leading to more drug interactions. * Drugs with high plasma protein binding have lesser glomerular filteration as proteins cannot be filtered across the glomerulus.
