Formulation of diazepam containing rectal suppositories and experiences of their biopharmaceutical study

Pharmazie. 1994 May;49(5):346-9.

Abstract

Methodology and the results of the in vitro membrane diffusion and in vivo bioavailability studies are presented. The results confirm a correlation between in vitro and in vivo findings. Hydrophilic macrogol-mixture with great molecular mass can be recommended as the optimal vehicle for formulation of diazepam suppositories.
