title: Pharmacokinetics of isosorbide-5-nitrate in renal failure.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of the antianginal drug isosorbide-5-nitrate (IS-5-N) was studied in 20 patients with varying degrees of chronic renal failure after repeated oral doses of standard 20 mg tablets t.d.s. Blood samples were taken in the steady state on the 2nd and 28th days, and the plasma level was assayed by HPLC. There was no statistically significant difference in Cssmax, t1/2 and AUCss0-8 between the 2nd and 28th days, nor was a difference found between patients with mild and severe renal failure.
