A method to predict infinity values for biexponential processes.

Abstract

An equation is presented which allows infinity values for biexponential processes to be predicted in the early nonlinear phase when samples are taken at equal time intervals. This equation is independent of the value or ratio of the rate constants involved in the process. However, this method is very sensitive to noise normally associated with urine data.

[Interaction of quinidine and digoxin in humans (author's transl)].

After full digitalisation, 11 healthy subjects received 0.375 mg digoxin daily as maintenance dose. Under steady-state conditions and determination of serum concentration and renal clearance of digoxin, they were then given 500 or 1000 mg quinidine daily in addition to the digoxin. While serum concentration of digoxin rose significantly from 0.75 +/- 0.2 ng/ml after one week on 500 mg quinidine, and to 1.8 +/- 0.6 ng/ml after 1000 mg of quinidine, renal digoxin clearance fell from 186.2 +/- 67.4 to 125.4 +/- 61.8 ml/min after 500 mg of quinidine. Raising quinidine dosage to 1000 mg daily caused no further digoxin clearance reduction. During the total experimental period endogenous creatinine clearance remained unchanged. The results indicate that the rise in serum digoxin concentration on simultaneous quinidine administration is largely due to reduction in renal digoxin clearance. A clinical observation confirms the considerable practical importance of this interaction.
