The objective of this single-dose study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and haemodynamic changes in healthy male subjects following the administration of three oral ( 5 , 15, and 40mg) and two intravenous (1 and 3mg) doses of felodipine, a new calcium antagonist with a selective effect on the p

β¦ Synopsis
Nicardipine HCI oral doses (10-40 mg) were administered sequentially to six healthy subjects. For each regimen the capsule dose was administered every 8 hours (q 8 h) for 3 days and the plasma profiles of nicardipine and its pyridine analogue (M5) were determined following the last dose on day 4. Steady-state plasma concentrations of nicardipine for each subject were fitted very well by the Michaelis-Menten equation. An intravenous tracer dose (0.885 mg nicardipine HCI) was administered simultaneously with the final oral dose on the fourth day of the 30 mg q 8 h regimen. The steady-state bioavailability of nicardipine was shown to be dose-dependent and averaged 19 per cent (10 mg), 22 per cent (20 mg), 28 per cent (30 mg), and 38 per cent (40 mg). Nicardipine undergoes linear first-pass metabolism to M5. Qther metabolic pathways are responsible for the saturable first-pass metabolism observed for nicardipine.
