Twelve healthy human volunteers were randomized to receive either choline-magnesium trisalicylate (CMT) 1.5 g orally every 12 hours or a combination of CMT plus sucralfate 1 g orally every 6 hours for 5 days before the blood sampling day. After a 3-week washout period, the subjects were crossed over to receive the alternate treatment for 5 days. The mean (+/- SD) area under the curve was 2668 (729) mg - hr/L and 2748 (716) mg - hr/L for CMT and CMT/sucralfate treatments, respectively. Mean (+/- SD) maximum concentration was 275 (69) mg/L and 283 (75) mg/L for CMT and CMT/sucralfate administrations, respectively. Mean (+/- SD) time to maximum concentration for CMT and CMT/sucralfate treatments was 1.8 (0.6) hours and 1.7 (0.7) hours, respectively. There were no significant differences detected for any parameter, therefore sucralfate does not affect rate or extent of CMT absorption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
