title: Determination of pindolol in human plasma and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection.
abstract: This paper presents a rapid, simple and economical method for assaying pindolol concentrations in plasma and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography using ultraviolet detection. It is sensitive enough for use in single-dose pharmacokinetic studies and may also be used to determine pindolol concentrations in the plasma from patients taking the drug, provided that the patient is not taking any of the drugs which interfere with the method. Drugs which were found to interfere with the pindolol peak are quinidine, n-acetylprocainamide and lidocaine. Disopyramide, oxprenolol and levobunolol interfered with the internal standard peak.
