Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the human pharmaceutical products that have been registered in Kenya in order to determine the most common routes of administration and type of dosage forms that are used. Registered pharmaceutical products were categorized by route of administration and then sub-categorized by the dosage form. Oral dosage forms were the most common accounting for 73% of all registered products. Parenteral and topical products represented 18% and 4% of the registered products respectively. Ophthalmic and pulmonary dosage forms accounted for 2% and 1% of the registered products, respectively. All other dosage forms categories individually accounted for less than 1% of the registered products. For most routes of administration, a variety of specific dosage forms were observed. The paper also briefly reviews the advantages and disadvantages of the routes of administration and the dosage forms that were observed. Keywords: Route of administration, dosage forms, drug delivery, registered pharmaceutical products East and Central African Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences , Vol. 15 (2012) 38-46

按给药途径和剂型对在肯尼亚注册的人用药品进行评估

本研究的目的是评估在肯尼亚注册的人用药品，以确定最常见的给药途径和使用的剂型类型。注册药品按给药途径分类，再按剂型分类。口服剂型是最常见的，占所有注册产品的73%。注射和外用产品分别占注册产品的18%和4%。眼科和肺部剂型分别占注册产品的2%和1%。所有其他剂型类别单独占注册产品的比例不到1%。对于大多数给药途径，观察到各种特定的剂型。本文还简要回顾了所观察到的给药途径和剂型的优缺点。关键词:给药途径，剂型，给药，注册药品，中非医药，Vol. 15 (2012) 38-46
