Abstract
The transits of a capsule and a multiparticulate pellet system have been monitored through the gastrointestinal tract in six healthy volunteers. Both preparations moved together through the stomach and small intestine, reaching the colon, on average, 4 h after dosing. Within the colon the pellets dispersed and moved at a slower rate than the capsule. There was considerable intersubject variability in the large bowel transit times. The findings are discussed in terms of drug delivery to the colon.Entities:
