> medlib - You are absolutely right about the delayed absorption. There is no difference in excretion rates at all between the two types of Effexor. Did you attend one of my lectures? Or is this info really in the monograph (I'll have to check). I found it the hard way, by looking through stacks of journal articles. I find that monographs are lawyers documents; written by lawyers, for lawyers. (They do help when in a hurry, though). - Cam W.Cam--Our posts crossed electronically--wouldn't have posted had I seen yours before I began writing (I'm a slow composer). A Google search easily turned up the original Wyeth-Ayerst monograph at www.mdmultimedia.com/a/mono/mgl008.htm
The info I cited was under a section called "Multiple dose pharmacokinetic profile (tablets and extended release capsules)". While I wouldn't normally trust the company line re side-effects, etc., pharmacokinetics is harder to fudge, less reason to, and lawyers don't understand a word of it anyway--ergo, I rate it reasonably reliable. How about you?BTW,you mentioned library time doing research in one of your posts. Just wondered if you are aware of the Journal Browser feature of PubMed. It has links to 757 medical journals online, including a number of pharm titles. A number are full-text and free; others offer TOC + abstracts of feature articles w/ fee-based full text. University libraries sometimes pick up the fee for staff; publishers sometimes offer free web access to full-text from university servers when the university subscribes to the paper version of the journal. It might be worthwhile checking w/ your university library for its electronic journal access policies.
Hope I haven't mentioned this before--damned non-existent short-term memory; wonder if one can get a RAM transplant?
Thanks much for all your good work here--medlib
