Pharmacokinetics of Citalopram in Patients With Short Bowel Syndrome

August 9, 2023 updated by: University of Nebraska

Study to Determine Steady-state Level of Citalopram Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Patients With Short Bowel Syndrome

This study will look at how the body interacts with citalopram in adult participants with short bowel syndrome. While information on depression in patients with short bowel syndrome is sparse, the investigators' experience is that these patients have a high incidence of depression and should benefit from a drug intervention.

Detailed Description

This prospective study will determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of citalopram in 12 adult patients with short bowel syndrome. While data on the prevalence of depression in patients with short bowel syndrome is sparse, the investigators' experience is that these patients have a high incidence of depression and should benefit from a psychopharmacological intervention.

Experimental: Pharmacokinetics of Citalopram in Patients With Short Bowel Syndrome

Citalopram pharmacokinetics will be studies in subjects with short bowel syndrome.

Citalopram 20mg orally will be given to the subjects and on the seventh day blood will be drawn at hours 0,1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16 and 24 hours post-dose.
