title: Pharmacokinetics of buflomedil after intravenous and oral administration.
abstract: Pharmacokinetics studies were conducted in 4 patients who received buflomedil 100 mg intravenously and in 3 volunteers who received buflomedil 450 mg per os. Buflomedil concentrations were determined by a gas liquid chromatography method. Buflomedil levels declined multiphasically with a mean clearance after intravenous administration of -0,034 (1 h-1 kg-1). The decline appeared to be monophasic after oral administration. In both cases the overall half-life is short, mean 2.07 hrs (range, 1,47-2,6 hrs).
