A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE BLOOD CONCENTRATIONS AND URINARY EXCRETION OF SULFAPYRIDINE AND SULFANILAMIDE AFTER SINGLE DOSES OF SULFAPYRIDINE AND RELATED COMPOUNDS ADMINISTERED BY VARIOUS ROUTES

Abstract
Glucose-sulfapyridine administered intraven. or subcut. gives high levels of the drug in the blood but is rapidly excreted and appears to circulate in a form which does not behave like sulfapyridine. The data for the clearances of glucose-sulfapyridine after its intraven. or subcut. adm. indicate that little or no reabsorption of glucose-sulfapyridine takes place. Glucose-sulfapyridine administered orally is absorbed slowly. In other respects, however, the drug present in the blood after its absorption from the gastro-intestinal tract behaves in the same manner as when sulfapyridine itself is given. Glucose-sulfapyridine given intraven. or subcut. does not enter the red blood cells, and is apparently distr. only in the extracellular fluids.
