Abstract
The relationship between dose and area under the blood concentration-time curve has been studied in 6 healthy subjects following both oral and intravenous doses of acebutolol. There is a more than proportional increase in area with increasing oral doses, and the area over a dosing interval following multiple oral doses is greater than the total area after a single dose of the same size. The role of an acetyl metabolite in producing these effects is discussed, as is the relevance of these observations to the clinical use of acebutolol.
