Abstract
1 The effect of intravenous cimetidine 200 mg or 400 mg on the absorption of lorazepam 2.5 mg tablet and diazepam 10 mg tablet and capsule was studied. 2 Considerable individual variation in plasma concentrations was found with all preparations. 3 Cimetidine increased the absorption of diazepam and lorazepam. 4 Capsule preparations of diazepam generally produced higher drug plasma concentrations than the tablets.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
