    Abstract

    The bioavailability of noscapine base administered in lozenges in a dose of 100 mg to twelve healthy volunteers, in a study using an open balanced cross-over design, was compared with that of 100 mg of noscapine hydrochloride given perorally as a mixture. The bioavailability of noscapine after administration in lozenges was significantly higher than that after administration of the drug as a mixture. It is concluded that the lozenges containing noscapine base may be a valuable alternative to the conventional noscapine hydrochloride mixture.
