Popis: | The drug interactions between tandospirone citrate,a non-benzodiazepine antianxiety drug,and oxazolam,a minor benzodiazepine tranquilizer and antianxiety agent,and valpronic acid (VPA),an anti-convulsant,were studied in rats.When tandospirone citrate or citric acid was administered orally immediately following oral administration (p.o.) of sodium valproate (VPA-Na),the plasma VPA levels were significantly lower than those in the control.In addition,pharmacokinetic parameters such as plasma VPA concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve up to 3 hr (AUC) were significantly decreased.However,when tandospirone citrate was administered intraperitonally,or both it and oxazolam were administered orally with VPA-Na,the VPA pharmacokinetic parameters were unchanged.These results suggest that decreases in plasma VPA concentrations (including those for AUC) may be due to a reduction in VPA-Na adsorption from the intestinal tract due to tandospirone citrate. |
