L’objectif

This analysis provides an overview of the pharmacokinetic profile of FBT based on pooled data from nine pharmacokinetic studies.

Constatations/points à retenir

Based on the individual studies, bioequivalence was shown for sublingual and buccal tablet placement, and no significant effect of dwell time (duration of FBT presence in the oral cavity) was observed. The pharmacokinetic profile of FBT was characterized by rapid absorption, which is consistent with the rapid-onset efficacy profile of FBT observed in clinical studies.
