Relative bioavailability of three newly developed albendazole formulations: a randomized crossover study with healthy volunteers
Abstract
This study of healthy volunteers shows that the relative bioavailability of albendazole formulations that use arachis oil-polysorbate 80 or hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin as an excipient was enhanced 4.3- and 9.7-fold compared to the results seen with commercial tablets. Administration of macrogol suppositories did not result in measurable plasma concentrations of albendazole sulfoxide.
