Isoniazid plasma half-life and clearance rates were studied in children with kwashiorkor before and after nutritional rehabilitation. Isoniazid half-life rates fell and clearance increased with nutritional rehabilitation. The changes documented in this report are not an indication that isoniazid therapy should be altered in malnourished children, but may indicate that this should be done in malnourished adults.
An assay suitable for hydroxyzine determination in human plasma following therapeutic doses was developed. The method involves GLC and chemical-ionization mass spectrometry of the acetate derivatives of hydroxyzine and of a pentadeuterated analog internal standard. Following administration of 100-mg single oral doses to normal male volunteers, peak plasma concentrations of approximately 80 ng/ml were observed; the half-life of drug removal was approximately 3 hr.
A comparison was made in fasting patients between a single 100 mg oral dose of methotrexate formulated as its sodium salt in a palatable syrup and the same total quantity of drug administered in four divided doses of 25 mg taken at 2-h intervals. Allocation to the order of these treatment schedules was on a random basis. The area under the serum methotrexate concentration-time curve until 50 h was found to be considerably greater after the divided dose regimen, the mean ratio AUC 25 mg x 4/AUC 100 mg being 1.86 (+/- 0.90). There was no significant difference in peak serum methotrexate concentrations or methotrexate half-life estimates between the two regimens, however. The results of this study are consistent with saturation of an intestinal transport process when methotrexate is administered orally in a single large dose.
