title: Disposition of remoxipride in Chinese schizophrenic patients.
abstract: The disposition of remoxipride was evaluated in 13 male chronic schizophrenic patients. A single 150 mg dose of remoxipride was administered and blood sampling performed over the following 48 hours. The mean (SD) oral clearance and half-life of remoxipride were 74.46 (25.9) ml/min and 5.46 (0.87) hours, respectively. The mean (SD) AUC for remoxipride was 25,320 (9,820) ng.h/ml. A wide interpatient variability was observed. Compared to Caucasian studies there were no significant differences in the disposition of remoxipride.
