Dear Santosh,

❝ what will be the impact on pharmacokinetic of the drug ?


With a solid formulation: nothing. Peanuts.

How could the light get into your tablet ? Let alone capsules.

With an uncoated tablet, you may imagine some effect at the surface of the tablet, which is only a fraction of the API contents. If your tablets are packaged in blisters, leave them in the blisters during dispensing. If not, they will only be exposed to light for a very short time during dispensing, and for a few seconds for dosing. Not enough to have any effect.

The only situation which might be discussed would be solutions or suspensions. And even there... Just follow the labelling.

Regards
Ohlbe
