Abstract
Antihistamines have been in clinical use for more than 70 years to treat allergic and nonallergic symptoms including relief from cold and flu symptoms. Despite their widespread use, pharmacokinetic (PK) data are sparse for older, first-generation antihistamines. This phase 1 single-center open-label, randomized, single-dose, 3-way crossover trial evaluated the PK profiles of 2 doses of film-coated triprolidine caplets (2.5 and 5 mg) compared with a reference combination tablet (triprolidine 2.5 mg + pseudoephedrine 60 mg) in 24 healthy adults. Blood samples were collected predose and at specified intervals across a 24-hour period after administration, and triprolidine was quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Maximum plasma concentration of triprolidine for the 2.5 mg and dose-normalized 5 mg single-agent tablets were comparable (8.4 versus 7.1 ng/mL, respectively) and higher for the combination tablet (9.5 ng/mL). PK parameters, including time to maximum plasma concentration (∼1.5 hours) and elimination half-life (∼4 hours), were comparable between the 3 treatment arms. The safety profile of this sedating antihistamine was as expected; however, adverse effects were reported in a markedly higher propo...Continue Reading
