title: Effect of rioprostil, a methyl-prostaglandin E1, on plasma level and renal excretion of beta-acetyldigoxin.
abstract: A single oral dose of rioprostil, a synthetic methyl-prostaglandin E1, together with or 2 h before ingestion of 0.8 mg beta-acetyldigoxin significantly delays the rate but does not change the extent of beta-acetyldigoxin absorption. However, repeated evening doses of rioprostil do not alter either the glycoside steady-state plasma levels or renal excretion.
