ESTAZOLAM- ESTAZOLAM TABLET GOLDEN STATE MEDICAL SUPPLY, INC. ---------- ES TAZOLAM TABLETS, USP C-IV REVISED: NOVEMBER 2014 RX ONLY DESCRIPTION Estazolam, USP, a triazolobenzodiazepine derivative, is an oral hypnotic agent. Estazolam occurs as a fine, white, odorless powder that is soluble in alcohol and practically insoluble in water. The chemical name for estazolam is 8-chloro-6-phenyl-4_H_-_s_-triazolo[4,3-α][1,4]benzodiazepine. The molecular formula is C16H11CIN4 and its molecular weight is 294.75. The structural formula is represented as follows: Each tablet, for oral administration, contains either 1 mg or 2 mg of estazolam, USP. In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: docusate sodium, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium benzoate, sodium starch glycolate and stearic acid. The 2 mg tablets also contain FD&C Red #40 aluminum lake. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY PHARMACOKINETICS _Absorption_ Estazolam tablets have been found to be equivalent in absorption to an orally administered solution of estazolam. In healthy subjects who received up to three times the recommended dose of estazolam, peak estazolam plasma concentrations occurred within two hours after dosing (range 0.5 to 6 hours) and were proportional to the administered dose, suggesting linear pharmacokinetics over the dosage range tested. _Distribution_ Independent of concentration, estazolam in plasma is 93% protein bound. _Metabolism_ Estazolam is extensively metabolized. Only two metabolites (1-oxo-estazolam and 4-hydroxy- estazolam) were detected in human plasma up to 18 hours. The pharmacologic activity of estazolam is primarily from the parent drug. The elimination of the parent drug takes place via hepatic metabolism of estazolam to hydroxylated and other metabolites that are eliminated largely in the urine both free and conjugated. In humans, greater than 70% of a single dose of estazolam was recovered in the urine as metabolites. Less than 5% of a 2 mg dose of estazolam was excreted সম্পূর্ণ নথি পড়ুন
