    dissolve in fats and easily cross cell membranes

    Lipophilic drugs, also known as fat-soluble drugs, are medications that dissolve in fats, oils, and lipids rather than water. This property allows them to easily cross cell membranes, which are composed of lipid bilayers, facilitating their absorption and distribution within the body. These drugs often have longer half-lives and can accumulate in fatty tissues, potentially leading to prolonged effects or toxicity.
