CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Pharmacokinetics

Gastrointestinal absorption of Tricocet is insignificant. Most orally administered Tricocet is passed unchanged in the stool. In patients with renal insufficiency receiving oral therapy with conventional dosage forms, significant plasma concentrations of Tricocet may occasionally occur.

Microbiology

Tricocet is both fungistatic and fungicidal in vitro against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast like fungi. Candida albicans demonstrates no significant resistance to Tricocet in vitro on repeated subculture in increasing levels of Tricocet; other Candida species become quite resistant. Generally, resistance does not develop in vivo. Tricocet acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of susceptible Candida species with a resultant change in membrane permeability allowing leakage of intracellular components. Tricocet exhibits no appreciable activity against bacteria, protozoa, or viruses.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Tricocet tablets are intended for the treatment of non-esophageal mucus membrane gastrointestinal candidiasis.
