Title: | Influence of food on the bioavailability of a sustained-release verapamil preparation. | Austin Authors: | Conway, Elizabeth L;Phillips, P A;Drummer, Olaf H;Louis, William J | Affiliation: | University of Melbourne, Department of Medicine, Austin Hospital, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia | Issue Date: | 1-Mar-1990 | Publication information: | Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences; 79(3): 228-31 | Abstract: | The effects of food on the bioavailability of a sustained-release (SR) formulation of verapamil (SR-verapamil; Isoptin SR) were determined in an open, three-way single-dose study involving 12 volunteers receiving (in randomized order) the SR preparation (1 X 240 mg) either fasting or with food and a conventional formulation of verapamil (3 X 80 mg) fasting. Compared with the conventional formulation, SR-verapamil had a reduced Cmax, prolonged tmax, and unchanged t1/2, consistent with its SR formulation. The AUC was 80% of the conventional preparation. Concomitant food administration significantly prolonged the tmax of SR-verapamil from 7.3 +/- 3.4 to 11.7 +/- 6.3 h, but had little effect on Cmax, t1/2, or AUC. Similar results were obtained with the metabolite, norverapamil. Food administration also had little effect on the blood pressure and ECG effects of SR-verapamil. Cautions regarding taking this preparation with food therefore appear to be unnecessary. | Gov't Doc #: | 2338632 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11668 | Journal: | Journal of pharmaceutical sciences | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2338632 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Aged Biological Availability Blood Pressure.drug effects Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid Delayed-Action Preparations Electrocardiography Female Food Half-Life Heart Rate.drug effects Humans Male Middle Aged Verapamil.administration & dosage.analogs & derivatives.pharmacokinetics.pharmacology |
