Bioavailability of medroxalol in man.

Ten healthy male volunteers received single oral doses of 100 mg of medroxalol administered as a solution, a preliminary tablet formulation and a single dose of 100 mg administered intravenously in a randomized three-way crossover study. Mean terminal half-lives of 12.4, 13.4, and 11.3 h were observed for the intravenous, solution and tablet formulation, respectively. Mean urinary recovery of parent drug at 48 h was 8.9 per cent, 3.9 per cent, and 3.2 per cent. Absolute bioavailability estimated from plasma AUC was 54 per cent for the solution and 38 per cent for the tablet, and the relative bioavailability from the tablet was 71 per cent.
