3. Midazolam<br />
gastrointestinal tract and due to considerable first-pass effect bioavailability is impaired.<br />
Furthermore, the absorption is delayed and depends on ingestion [Burstein, et al. 1997].<br />
Pharmacokinetic parameters <strong>of</strong> transmucosal nasally delivered drugs depend on many-sided<br />
interaction <strong>of</strong> different preparation and administration related parameters. Therefore, to compare<br />
the outcome <strong>of</strong> different investigations <strong>of</strong> nasal midazolam delivery, it is not enough to consider the<br />
administered doses. It is important to compare also the administered volume and the drug delivery<br />
device (spray or droplets), which determine the swallowed portion. In nasal drug delivery, the<br />
impact on pharmacokinetic parameters <strong>of</strong> the vehicle and other administration related<br />
characteristics (e.g., drug delivery device) is enormous. Therefore, the cited pharmacokinetic<br />
parameters are only <strong>of</strong> trend-setting character and cannot be generally assigned to transmucosal<br />
nasal midazolam delivery. In Appendix 10.1.1 published data on nasal midazolam delivery is<br />
summarized.<br />
Table 3-3: Dose, bioavailability, and onset <strong>of</strong> therapeutic effect <strong>of</strong> transmucosal administered midazolam. This<br />
parameters were assessed by nasal delivery <strong>of</strong> different preparations (in some publications the administered<br />
preparation was no specified).<br />
