Abstract
There is growing interest on how to best tailor blood pressure (BP)-lowering medications according to the circadian (24 h) BP pattern of individual patients, that is, chronotherapy. Significant and clinically meaningful treatment-time differences in the beneficial and/or adverse effects of at least...

Abstract
Pulsatile drug delivery system capable of releasing the drug after a predetermined lag period in pulsed or controlled release manner recently has drawn the attention of both academic and industrial research. Depending on the effective therapeutic application of the drug, a variety of design strategi...

Abstract
The aim of the work was to compare efficiency of traditional therapy with prestarium (tert-butylamine salt) and chronotherapy with prestarium A (arginine salt) in elderly patients with polymorbidity syndrome (diabetes mellitus, nephropathy, grade I-II chronic hepatic insufficiency). All patients und...

Abstract
During the course of the day all patients showed on average an additional decline in these values compared to the 9:00 am serum level of 41%. In only a third of the patients did the 24-hour profile exhibit an average increase that exceeded the 9:00 am value by as much as 4%. In the case of the 24-ho...

Abstract
We studied 115 untreated hypertensive patients, 46.7+/-11.2 years of age, randomly assigned to receive ramipril (5 mg/d) as a monotherapy either on awakening or at bedtime. Blood pressure was measured for 48 hours before and after 6 weeks of treatment. The blood pressure reduction during diurnal act...

Abstract
Bioavailability of the extended-release tramadol capsules for once daily administration is not affected by the time-point of administration. Total and maximum exposure of the product was bioequivalent after intake in the morning and at night. Thus, the time-point of administration may be adjusted to...

Abstract
The median age of the patients was 12.6 years and they mainly suffered from forms of acute leukemia. Daily morphine equivalent dose (MED) requirements increased with the start of the PCA therapy from 14.5 mg/day to 18.7 mg/day (p=0.021; Wilcoxon test). Children required more opioids by bolus request...

Abstract
It has been proven that the body follows a 24-hour cycle called a circadian rhythm. This cycle is coordinated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus and controls nearly all bodily functions including those related to drug delivery. Knowledge of the body's circadian rhythm leads to an improved understanding...

Abstract
These results exhibit uniqueness in achieving the least drug release of 0.98%, an ideal one, without using any release modifiers, making it distinct from other approaches/technologies for time and controlled release and for chronotherapy....

Abstract
Currently only a few package inserts of once-daily medications specially define the dosing time, although sporadic studies have demonstrated administration time-dependent effects on the therapeutic outcome. Some chronotherapeutic approaches aim to diminish the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (A...
