The study-specific input parameters in the OCCAT model.
OCCAT Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Formulation type | Buccal patch a |
Drug dose | 20 mg a |
Film surface area | 2.25 cm2 a |
Oral transit model | Normal swallowing a |
Saliva production rate (base value) | 0.6 mL/min b |
Fraction unbound in oral tissue (Fut) | 0.21 c |
Drug diffusivity through oral mucosa | 7.21 × 10−7 cm2/s c |
a applies for the investigated buccal films; b optimized value [38]; c calculated using the software integrated equations.
