This study was conducted to determine the relative bioavailability of Dilacorm XR capsules compared to CardizemD CD capsules at both low (180mgdPL) and high (540mgd-') dose levels. Trough and serial plasma samples were obtained and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the steady state con

โฆ Synopsis
The pharmacokinetic disposition and relative bioavailability of sertindole administered as a tablet dosage form under fasting conditions, in the presence of food, in the presence of antacid, and as solution was studied in a four-way crossover in young healthy male volunteers. Overall, tablet dosing after a meal or Maalox had no eect on t 1/2 or AUC values when compared to fasting conditions, but increased the t max and decreased the C max values slightly. The mean relative bioavailabilities of sertindole administered as tablets after fasting, with food, and with Maalox are 99, 104, and 98%, respectively, compared to sertindole solution. Therefore, sertindole can be administered with and without food and without regard to coadministration of antacids. &1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
