Bariatric Surgery and Pharmacokinetics of Lercanidipine

Recruiting
Conditions
Obesity, Morbid
Registration Number
NCT03497156
Lead Sponsor
Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Brief Summary

Changes to gastric pH, gastric emptying time, gastrointestinal transit-time or the pre-systemic metabolizing effect of enzymes secreted in the mucosa may all alter the pharmacokinetics of medicines. These factors are potentially influenced by bariatric surgery. Little is so far known about how gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy impacts the biological availability of medication. In this study the pharmacokinetic effects of bariatric surgery on lercanidipine are investigated.
