Twenty-four stable, chronic schizophrenic inpatients were entered in a double-blind crossover study designed to compare single dose and steady state pharmacokinetic profiles of an immediate release formulation (IR) 200 mg BID and a controlled release formulation (CR) of remoxipride 400 mg once daily. The rate of absorption of remoxipride CR was significantly lower than the IR formulation and tmax was prolonged from 1.3 to 7.9 h after a single dose and from 2.2 to 6.0 h after repeated dosing. Although the single dose of remoxipride CR was twice as large as the single dose of the IR, the Cmax was similar for both formulations after a single dose. However, the Cmax at steady state was slightly lower for CR. There was significantly less fluctuation in plasma concentrations at steady state with the CR formulation, although the average plasma concentration of remoxipride IR and CR was similar. The mean relative bioavailability with regard to the amount of remoxipride absorbed after remoxipride CR 400 mg once daily compared to IR 200 mg BID was 97%. It was concluded that the CR formulation is suitable for a once-daily administration from a pharmacokinetic point of view.
