title: Pharmacokinetics of the oxime HI-6 from a mixture with atropine sulphate in dogs.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of the oxime HI-6 from an aqueous solution and from a mixture containing HI-6 and atropine (in doses similar as proposed for their combination in an automatic injector) was studied in German shepherd dogs. A standard manual injection of mixed drugs was followed by enhanced resorption of HI-6 while the elimination curves were quite similar. A comparison of the parameters describing relative bioavailability at the 80% probability level did not reveal any significant differences between the formulations of HI-6. The increase in HI-6 level in blood of animals receiving a mixture is more likely to be attributed to the local vasodilatation than to the systemic cardiovascular effects of atropine.
