No reliable human half-life has been published for Larazotide, so none is listed rather than guessed at.

Form

Nothing to reconstitute

Larazotide is taken by mouth, not injected, so there is no vial, no diluent and no draw volume. The typical dose is 500 mcg per administration — that is the number on the capsule or tablet, and the reconstitution calculator deliberately excludes this compound.

Mechanism & evidence

What it is, and what is known

A zonulin antagonist taken orally as a capsule; it acts locally in the gut lumen and is essentially not absorbed systemically. It has run randomized placebo-controlled trials in coeliac disease, including a phase 3 that was stopped for futility at interim analysis. Trial dosing was 0.5 mg three times daily before meals, with 1 mg and 2 mg arms performing no better than 0.5 mg. This app has no three-times-daily option, so the schedule below is an approximation of the studied regimen.

Not an approved medicine.

The caveat

The coeliac phase 3 was stopped for futility at interim analysis.
