title: Pharmacokinetics of betaxolol in middle aged patients.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of betaxolol was studied in 8 middle-aged (40-60 years) subjects after oral (20 mg) and intravenous (10 mg) administration. The principal parameters were almost identical to those observed in young healthy volunteers. The recommended therapeutic regimen, a single daily dose of 20 mg, appears well suited for middle aged, hypertensive patients.
