It is probable that their ingestion coincides with the oraladministration of drugs and a modification of their pharmacokinetics can appear. In the present study, the influence of two soluble fibers(guar gum and psyllium) was evaluated on the pharmacokinetics of ethinyloestradiol (EE) when they were administered together to femalerabbits via the oral route. Three groups of rabbits were used. All animals received 1 mg/kg of EE; this compound was administered alonein the control group and with 3.5 g of guar gum or psyllium in the other two groups. When guar gum was administered, there was a decreasein the extent of EE absorbed, but no change was observed in the rate of absorption. When psyllium was administered, the extent of EEabsorbed increased slightly and the rate of absorption was slower.
