title: Pharmacology of ketoconazole suspension in infants and children.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of ketoconazole administered as either a commercially prepared suspension or as a crushed tablet in applesauce were studied in 12 children. The mean peak plasma concentration of ketoconazole and the area under the plasma time-concentration curve were approximately twofold greater with the suspension than with the crushed tablets.
