Absorption of delayed-release prednisolone in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. 1985

P Thomas, and D Richards, and A Richards, and L Rogers, and B K Evans, and M J Dew, and J Rhodes

The absorption and urinary excretion of [3H]prednisolone after oral ingestion was examined using hard gelatin capsules with and without a coating of Eudragit-S which delayed release of the contents. In 6 patients with ulcerative colitis absorption was delayed until the preparation reached the colon but the total absorption was unchanged. In 6 patients with Crohn's disease and ileal strictures the preparation broke proximal to the stricture and absorption was delayed until this occurred (within 4-12 h). In 5 patients with Crohn's disease and intestinal resections the capsules broke unreliably.
