The aim of present work is to study the in-vitro drug-drug interaction studies of levocetirizine with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin) in different pH environments in simulated gastric juice (pH 1) simulating full stomach juice (pH 4), blood pH (pH 7.4) and simulated GI (pH 9) at physiological temperature (37°C). The interactions were carried out using dissolution apparatus and dug contents were analyzed by UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The availability of levocetirizine in the presences of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors were determined by deriving a simultaneous equation for two component system through modification of Beer's law. It was observed that availability of levocetirizine after interaction with MG-CoA reductase inhibitors was increased or decreased due to the formation of charge transfer complexes between them.
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.
