Stavudine delivery in an extended release formulation: Will it provide the right in vivo pharmacokinetics — Some key observations
Main Article Content
Abstract
extensive study to enable the delivery of stavudine
in a once daily extended release formulation.[1] The
in vitro evaluation has been performed with multiple
formulation options to enable the selection of the
right formulation system that renders once-a-day
delivery of stavudine, ensuring that zero order release
is maintained during the entire duration. As evidenced
by the generated data, the recommended formulation
(F9), appears to release approximately 4% of the drug
load every hour leading to a complete release of the
stavudine drug load by 24 hours.
