Abstract
An improved method for administering buspirone comprises oral administration of controlled/extended release formulations of buspirone and salts thereof which require from about 6 to 24 hours for in vitro dissolution of at least 80% of the buspirone content. Administration of these formulations increases buspirone bioavailability in relation to its major metabolite. Improved efficacy, drug tolerability and patient convenience result from this improved method of administration.
