2. DRUG AND EXCIPIENT PROFILES AND METHODS USED FOR THE ANALYSIS OF FAMOTIDINE
2.5. Calculation of initial dose and maintenance dose for the
design of gastric floating drug delivery systems of famotidine for 12 hours:
There are no sustained release formulations for famotidine in the
market, hence the total dose (DT) consisting of initial (DI) and
maintenance doses (DM) for formulating the famotidine sustained
release was calculated as per Robinson and Eriksen equation with a
zero order release principle56. In this profile the rate of delivery is
independent of the amount of drug remaining in the dosage form and
constant over time as shown by the Eq. 2.1.
Drug availability rate k0 = Rate in = Rate out Eq. 2.1
Where, k0 is the zero order rate constant for drug release (amount
per time).
DI is required to give initial rapid release of drug so as to attain
the minimum therapeutic level immediately after dosing.
Eq. 2.2 ( )
=
F
VCD dose Initial
davgss

87
Where, Cssavg is the average steady state plasma level, Vd is the volume
of distribution and F is the fraction of dose absorbed.
k0 = DIKel Eq. 2.3
Where, Kel is overall first order drug elimination rate constant (per
hour). Hence k0 should be equal to the elimination rate constant so as
to maintain the steady state condition.
In general the total dose required (DT) is the sum of the
maintenance dose (DM) and the initial dose (DI).
DT = DI + DM Eq. 2.4
In practice, DM (mg) is released over a period of time and is equal
to the product of H (the number of hours for which sustained action is
desired after initial dose) and the zero order rate constant, k0 (mg/hr).
Therefore the Eq. 2.4 can be expressed as
DT = DI + k0H Eq. 2.5
Ideally the maintenance dose (DM) is released after DI has
produced a minimum therapeutic blood level of the drug. However due
to the limits of formulations, drug release even starts from DM also from
the beginning i.e. at t=0, thus increasing the initial drug level in the
blood. Hence it is necessary to reduce the initial dose of the drug to
account for the excess release for drug from DM by using a correction
factor, k0tp. This correction factor is the amount of drug provided by DM
during the period from t=0 to the time of the peak drug level, tp. The
corrected initial dose (DI*) becomes DI-(k0tp). Then the total dose is
DT = DI* + k0H = (DI - k0tp) + k0H Eq. 2.6
88
2.5.1. Pharmacokinetic parameters of famotidine:
Elimination half life (t1/2) of famotidine is 3 hrs (average of 2.5 to
3.5 hrs), the time to reach peak plasma (tp) is 2 hrs and Vd = 91 L and
F = 0.49,11. From the literature of the PEPCID (innovator product of
famotidine in USA) label and pharmacological review information4,6, it
was found that the plasma levels after multiple doses are similar to
those after single doses indicating the Cmax is similar to Cssavg, therefore
Cmax of 0.07 mg/L was taken as Cssavg.
2.5.2. Calculation of DI and DM:
The initial dose (DI), corrected initial dose (DI*), maintenance dose
(DM) and total dose (DT) were calculated according to calculations
described above.
2.5.2.1. Calculation of elimination rate constant:
Elimination rate constant (Kel) = 0.693/t1/2
= 0.693/3 = 0.231 hr-1
2.5.2.2. Calculation of initial dose:
= (0.07 X 91)/0.4
= 15.93 mg
2.5.2.3. Calculation of desired input rate (k0):
Desired input rate from maintenance dose (k0) = DIKel
( )
=

= 15.93 X 0.231 = 3.68 mg/hr
2.5.2.4. Calculation of maintenance dose:
Maintenance dose (DM) = k0H (Since, H = the number of hours for
which sustained action is desired after initial dose = (12-1) = 11 hrs)
= 3.68 X 11 = 40.48 mg
2.5.2.5. Calculation of corrected initial dose DI*:
DI* = DI – (k0tp) = 15.93 – (3.68 X 2) = 8.57 mg
2.5.2.6. Calculation of total dose:
Total dose (DT) = DI* + DM
= 8.57 + 40.48 = 49.05 mg
From the above calculations the total dose obtained for sustained
release of famotidine for 12 hrs is 49.05 mg. The total dose was
rounded off to 50 mg for the convenience. Initially the dosage form
should release the total initial dose (i.e. 8.57 mg ~ 9.0 of drug, means
18% of total 50 mg dose) in the first 1 hr followed by maintenance dose
(i.e. 50-9=41 mg of drug) for up to 12 hrs thereafter at a release rate of
3.68 mg/hr (i.e. 7.36% of total 50 mg dose). Based on these
assumptions the theoretical release profile was predicted and shown in
Table 2.7 and Fig. 2.4
