[The effect of pharmaceutic aids on gidazepam biotransformation and bioavailability]

When gidazepam was administered to rats in combination with 4% solutions of Tween 80 or polyvinylpyrrolidone, its bioavailability was higher than its combination with 4% polyethylene glycol 400 solution, as shown by high performance liquid chromatography. Increasing the quantities of these high-molecular compounds in gidazepam solutions was demonstrated to enhance gidazepam dealkylation in the animals after oral administration.
