Abstract

At present ascorbic acid and cyanocobalamin are widely used in medical practice. Often they are administered simultaneously; chemically they are incompatible, as ascorbic acid (redox compound) inactivates cyanocobalamin. The combination of ascorbic acid and cyanocobalamin is the problem of pharmacy. To solve the problem double-layer suppositories containing two incompatible vitamins: ascorbic acid and cyanocobalamin were developed. Pharmaceutical bioavailability of ascorbic acid and cyanocobalamin has been studied using in-vitro methods to develop optimal base for suppositories. As a result of investigations optimal composition and technology of the double-layer suppositories containing ascorbic acid and cyanocobalamin which met requirements has been developed. Sequential release of active compounds and as a result - sequential pharmacologic action is achieved.
