title: Pharmacokinetic study of a carbamazepine nanoemulsion in beagle dogs.
abstract: This work describes the pharmacokinetics of a novel carbamazepine nanoemulsion. The plasma concentration profiles were determined in beagle dogs after i.v. bolus administration of a 5 mg/kg carbamazepine nanoemulsion and compared to the corresponding carbamazepine/hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin complex solution. Both formulations showed similar pharmacokinetic profiles and could represent valuable formulations in case of emergencies, when a rapid action in the central nervous system is desirable.
