Accumulation Index Multiple Dose Pharmacokinetics of Brisdelle (Paroxetine Mesylate) Capsules 7.5 mg at Day 19Day 19

Accumulation Index is the ratio of AUC 0-24 after multiple doses versus a single dose. It is the increase in drug plasma concentration after multiple dosing until a steady state is reached. In this case the steady state Accumulation Index was calculated at Day 19. Accumulation Index is calculated at the end of the dosing period.
