Beta blockers are generally well absorbed throughout the GI tract. Peak concentration times range from 1 to 3 hours depending on how the drugs are given. Propranolol doses, for example, are well and rapidly absorbed when given orally, whereas metropolol's oral bioavailability is only 50%.
Because a portion of drugs like Propranolol is immediately bound to the liver, celiac disease patients absorb almost 70% less of the drug.
