Abstract

The kinetics of phenobarbital (PB) was compared after oral administration of equivalent doses of the drug as the acid or the propylhexedrine salt (barbexaclone) to 7 normal volunteers. The absorption and elimination parameters were very similar. It was concluded that propylhexedrine did not affect the serum kinetics of PB given as barbexaclone.
