    Notes: Abstract Objective: The absorption kinetics of paracetamol is dependent on gastric emptying and its measurement was proposed as a non-invasive method to estimate gastric emptying rate. The objective of this study was to evaluate the intraindividual variability of paracetamol absorption kinetics after a semi-solid meal. Methods: The pharmacokinetics of paracetamol was studied on two occasions in 15 healthy volunteers without Helicobacter pylori antibodies. A 1-g dose of paracetamol was given as a solution together with a standardised semi-solid meal and the subjects stayed in the supine position. Results: For most of the subjects, the time course of paracetamol concentrations was similar on the two occasions. The intraindividual variability was low, with coefficients of variation of 38.3%, 8.0% and 3.8% for time to maximum plasma concentration, maximum concentration and area under the plasma concentration – time curve until 6 h, respectively. Conclusion: The assessment of paracetamol absorption kinetics is reproducible when the drug is given together with a semi-solid meal in Helicobacter pylori-negative healthy subjects.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To study the possible influence of ursodiol (ursodeoxycholic acid), a hydrophilic bile acid, on cyclosporine (CsA) bioavailability. Methods: Seven adult liver transplant recipients participated in a randomised cross-over pharmacokinetic study comparing ursodiol (600 mg) with placebo in single doses. Blood concentrations of CsA were measured by HPLC. Results: There was no significant effect of ursodiol on CsA absorption: AUC was 5011 vs 5486 ng⋅h⋅ml–1, Cmax was 832 vs 871 ng⋅ml–1 and tmax was 2 vs 2 h, after ursodiol and placebo, respectively. Conclusion: Although a significant period effect was observed, we conclude that a single dose of ursodiol has little effect on CsA absorption in liver transplant patients and that an interaction in the intestinal lumen between these two drugs is unlikely.
