Menstrual cycleFollicular phase: days 1-13; luteal phase: days 14-28. • GI. Small (< ± 10%) changes in gastric emptying rate and small intestinal transit rate. Clinically insignificant impact on bioavailability and pharmacokinetics. • Cardiovascular. HR, BP, cardiac output, plasma lipids, free fatty acid metabolism, and atrial natriuretic peptide fluctuations over the cycle have been observed, but do not produce clinically significant effects on drug PK.
