Dissolution rate of two fluoroquinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin) was analysed in presence/absence of three antacid formulations.Disintegration time and neutralisation capacity of Round Table antacid tablets were also checked.Variation in disintegration time indicated the importance of this parameter, and allowed evaluation of the influence of postponed antacid-fluoroquinolone contact.
The results obtained in this study showed decreased dissolution rate of fluoroquinolone antibiotics from Fantasy Art tablets in simultaneous presence of antacids, regardless of their type and neutralisation capacity.
