Abstract

The pharmacokinetics of soluble oral prednisolone were studied during induction therapy in six children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. There was a three- to four-fold variation in the pharmacokinetics of total and free prednisolone. For total prednisolone, the mean elimination half-life was relatively short (1.37 h) and the total clearance, relatively high (15.1 ml min-1 kg-1). The mean free fraction was high (0.37).
