The pharmacokinetics of promethazine after intravenous administration in camels
Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of promethazine were determined in seven camels (Camelus dromedarius) after an intravenous dose of 0.5 mg kg body weight.-1 The data obtained (median and range) were as follows: the elimination half-life (t1/2 beta) was 5.62 (2.84-6.51) h; the steady state volume of distribution (Vdss) was 8.90 (7.10-12.00) L kg-1, total body clearance (CT) was 24.5 (17.22-33.65) ml kg-1 min-1 and renal clearance (Clr) was 4.81 (1.97-5.48) ml kg-1 min-1.
