Gastrointestinal transit of an enteric coated delayed release 5-aminosalicylic acid tablet radiolabelled with 111indium has been monitored in a total of 13 patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. More than 70% of the tablets disintegrated in the small intestine, on average 3.2 hours after emptying from the stomach. Dispersed preparation was detected in the proximal colon of all the patients, except one with an ileostomy. Mean peak plasma concentrations of 5-aminosalicylic acid and its metabolite acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid occurred 3-4 hours after gastric emptying. The tablets provide a reliable means of drug delivery to the ileum and proximal colon.
