CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
ABSORPTION
Following a single intravaginal application of a suppository
containing 240 mg
C-
terconazole to healthy women, approximately 70% (range: 64 to 76%) of
terconazole
remains in the vaginal area during the suppository retention period
(16 hours);
approximately 10% (range: 5 to 16%) of the administered radioactivity
was absorbed
systemically over 7 days. Maximum plasma concentrations of terconazole
occur 5 to 10
hours after intravaginal application of the cream or suppository.
Systemic exposure to
terconazole is approximately proportional to the applied dose, whether
as the cream or
suppository. The rate and extent of absorption of terconazole are
similar in patients with
vulvovaginal candidiasis (pregnant or non-pregnant) and healthy
subjects.
