Effect of iron deficiency anaemia and its treatment on single dose phenytoin bioavailability.

Iron deficiency is a common nutritional deficiency, which leads to structural functional and enzymatic changes in the body that may affect the pharmacokinetics of drugs. The present study in 7 normal volunteers and 8 adult male patients with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) was done to investigate the effect of iron deficiency and its treatment with total dose iron (TDI) on the bioavailability of a single dose of phenytoin. Phenytoin bioavailability was investigated before and 3 and 28 days after TDI.

A study of phenobarbital and dilantin in neonatal seizures.

A total of 40 cases of neonatal convulsions of different nonmetabolic aetiological factors were studied. Patients with kernicterus were included in the study. Peak plasma phenobarbital concentrations after incremental loading doses of phenobarbital i.

Bioinequivalence of marketed diltiazem preparations.

A bioequivalence study of three brands of regular diltiazem--Angizem (A), Dilzem (B) and Herbesser (C) has been carried out in 5 healthy, male volunteers. After a single oral dose of 60 mg of each preparation, the mean AUC (0-8 h) and Cmax of preparation B was significantly higher than of brands A and C. The tmax of A and B was significantly lower than of C.

Effect of iron deficiency anaemia and its treatment on the absorption and elimination of phenformin.

1. The extent of phenformin absorption and its rate of urinary excretion have been assessed in adult patients with iron deficiency anaemia, a condition which compromises gastrointestinal function. 2.
