[Bioaccessibility of diazepam administered as Valium and Valaxon tablets]

A double-blind, cross-over investigation undertaken of the bioaccessibility of diazepam in 12 healthy volunteers revealed that there is no significant difference as regards the bio-accessibility of diazepam administered as Valaxon or as Valium tablets. It is concluded that pharmokinetic studies such as this can provide important clinical information and are easy to carry out in a hospital department.
