Accordingly, for protonated substances, the extent of reabsorption is dependent upon urinary pH or the degree of dissociation. The degree of dissociation varies as a function of the urinary pH and the pKa, which represents the pH value at which half of the substance exists in protonated (or unprotonated) form.
Inhibition of dihydro-FA reductase (e.g., by methotrexate) depresses the formation of the active species, tetrahydro-FA. Symptoms of deficiency are megaloblastic anemia and mucosal damage. Therapy consists in oral administration of FA or in folinic acid when deficiency is caused by inhibitors of dihydro—FA—reductase. Administration of FA can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency.

 

Undesired effects. The magnitude of the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors depends on the functional state of the RAA system. When the latter has been activated by loss of electrolytes and water (resulting from treatment with diuretic drugs), cardiac failure, or renal arterial stenosis, administration of ACE inhibitors may initially cause an excessive fall in blood pressure.
