Clinical pharmacology studies with acenocoumarol.
In two different studies, the relation between plasma concentrations of acenocoumarol and apparent prothrombin levels (Quick test) was investigated, using a new specific analytical method for the assay of the drug. The prothrombin level appeared independent of the plasma concentration of the drug, which is higher in old patients (over 70 years) than in younger patients (under 51 years).
