They are metabolized (broken down or chemically altered) in the liver or other tissues or by circulating enzymes. This makes them mostly inactive and they are eliminated through waste (Poop, pee, exhaled, through skin etc.). Or They bind to the other things like proteins and get pooped or peed out.
