Effects of gastrointestinal transit on plasma concentrations of drugs from enteric-coated pellet formulations were demonstrated using pharmacokinetic models describing plasma concentrations of drugs from various enteric-coated pellet formulations. Gastric emptying time, lag time of emptying, and drug release rate from pellets in the small intestine, along with other pharmacokinetic parameters...
