Bariatric Surgery and Pharmacokinetics of Venlafaxine

Bariatric Surgery and Pharmacokinetics of Venlafaxine: BAR-MEDS Venlafaxine


Sponsor

Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Enrollment

12 participants

Start Date

Nov 2, 2016

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Changes to gastric pH, gastric emptying time, gastrointestinal transit-time or the pre-systemic metabolizing effect of enzymes secreted in the mucosa may all alter the pharmacokinetics of medicines. These factors are potentially influenced by bariatric surgery. Little is so far known about how gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy impacts the biological availability of medication. In this study the pharmacokinetic effects of bariatric surgery on venlafaxine are investigated.
