Table 6.

Obtained values for all eight healthy volunteers in fasted to simulate the gastric, duodenal and jejunal concentrations of paromomycin after oral administration of an immediate-release tablet of 250 mg paromomycin. The upper table shows the values to simulate the GI concentrations when the tablet was administered during a phase I of the MMC cycle; the lower table shows the values to simulate the GI concentrations when the tablet was administered during a phase II of the MMC cycle. Tlag correspond to the lag time for starting the transit from body to antrum, while tlag diss is a lag time to initiate dissolution.
