title: The bio-availability of beta-acetyldigoxine alone and combined with aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide (Alucol).
abstract: The bio-availability of Novodigal (beta-acetyldigoxine) alone and applied together with Alucol (aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide) was studied in six healthy probands. Bio-availability parameters were calculated from the areas under the plasma concentration curves and from the comparison of the blood levels after absorption during steady state. There was no significant difference between the bio-availability of beta-acetyldigoxine alone and that of the combination with Alucol. Thus, beta-acetyldigoxine combined with antacids of the aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide type can be applied in the same dosage as usual since no decrease of effect has to be apprehended.
