Evaluation of the Simple Suspension Method for Oral Anticancer Drugs.
The simple suspension method (SSM) involves administering tablets or capsules using a tube after disintegration and suspension in hot water without crushing or opening the capsule. Particularly, for anticancer drugs, it is an excellent method of administration that reduces the risk of exposure during dispensing. In contrast, information on SSM for individual drugs is insufficient. Anticancer drugs present a therapeutic challenge because their information is limited. We investigated whether SSM is possible with 36 anticancer drugs. Furthermore, we examined the pH of the suspension of these drugs, for which no information on SSM is available. We found that suspension was possible for 24 of the 36 drugs. Furthermore, the pH of the suspension was measured, which provided important information when considering dissolution solutions other than hot water. Little changes in the pH were observed before or after passing through the tube. The results of this study may improve medication adherence in patients with cancer experiencing dysphagia.
