Question 11
Two different capsule formulations of cilostazol, which is poorly water soluble, were prepared. In a group of volunteers, the relative
bioavailabilies of the two formulations were calculated relative to an oral suspension of the drug given to the same group at the same
dose.
Formula A (mechanically ground drug powder) Frel = 0.9
Formula B (stabilised amorphous powder) F rel= 2.1
Frel=FAXFGXFH
After consideration of the equation shown above, what is the likely reason for the increased F rel
of formula B compared to formula A?
a. FA is increased.
b. FG is increased.
c. FH is increased.
d. None of these are likely.
