Vitamin D3, Folic Acid and Fexofenadine in Healthy Volunteers

August 9, 2013 updated by: University of Zurich

Effects of Vitamin D3 (1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3) on Pharmacokinetics and Absorption of Folic Acid and Fexofenadine in Healthy Volunteers

The study is conducted to assess the effect of a vitamin D3 supplementation on the activities of two intestinal transporters and on the pharmacokinetics of the transporter substrates folic acid and fexofenadine.
