A comparative bioavailability study of carbamazepine tablets and a chewable tablet formulation.

abstract：:The clinical usefulness of cyclosporine is hampered by dose-limiting toxicities to the kidney that are not predicted by drug levels in serum or whole blood. Because of its lipophilic nature, circulating plasma lipoproteins may play a role in drug disposition. This study characterized the pharmacokinetic parameters of ...
