CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
ABS ORPTION
Following a single intravaginal application of a suppository
containing 240 mg
C-terconazole to
healthy women, approximately 70% (range: 64–76%) of terconazole
remains in the vaginal area during
the suppository retention period (16 hours); approximately 10% (range:
5–16%) of the administered
radioactivity was absorbed systemically over 7 days. Maximum plasma
concentrations of terconazole

suppository. Systemic exposure to
terconazole is approximately proportional to the applied dose, whether
as the cream or suppository.
