Abstract: AIM: To study the absorption and distri-bution characteristics of oxybutynin (OXY) oral tablet and transdermal gel.METHODS: A single dose of 0.1 g OXY transdermal gel (2mg OXY) was applied to abdom-inal area about 4 cm2 and 0.5mg immediate-release tablet was orally given to 48 rats in a randomized, open-label, control design test.The plasma, bladder and liver tissue were collected, disposed and analyzed and OXY pharma-cokinetic parameters were calculated and evaluated.RESULTS: The Cmax of OXY transdermal gel and oral table-ts in bladder are approximately 800 and 70 times higher than those in plasma.The plasma half life of OXY gel de-layed 5.99 h, tablets 2.18 h.CONCLUSION: OXY gel show better pharmacokinetic properties, characterized with long half life and high target organ concentrations than those of tablets.
