Article Synopsis
- Oral drug absorption, particularly of clofazimine, can be significantly affected by diarrhea associated with infections like cryptosporidiosis in HIV-infected adults.
- A population pharmacokinetic model using data from a study of 23 participants revealed that severe diarrhea can reduce clofazimine bioavailability by more than sixfold.
- Understanding these effects is crucial for optimizing dosing regimens to improve treatment outcomes for patients experiencing gastrointestinal issues.
