Comparison of plasma levels of antipyrine, tolbutamide, and warfarin after oral and intravenous administration

Abstract
Separated by an interval of at least one week, single oral and intravenous doses of either antipyrine (18 mg/kg), tolbutamide (15 mg/kg), or warfarin (0.75 mg/kg) were given to normal volunteers. Each drug was administered as an aqueous solution. The oral and intravenous routes of administration of each of these drugs produced very similm extrapolated Y intercepts, plasma half‐lives, apparent volumes of distribution, and metabolic clearance rates. Three patients with cirrhosis of the liver also received antipyrine by oral and intravenous routes; there were no significant pharmacokinetic differences.
