As a result of changes in the gastrointestinal tract of a pregnant woman, a drug absorbed in the GI system will probably need to be adjusted as follows:
 
  1. It needs to be decreased because of changes in absorption.
  2. It needs to be increased because of increased transit.
  3. It needs to be given more often because of increased motility.
  4. No changes are required.
