✦ Synopsis

MULTDOS, a computer method to curve fit data obtained on multiple dosing, was used with either the 1969 or 1974 version of the NONLIN program to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of ethosuximide during repetitive administration of single or divided daily doses. Elimination rate constants, excretion rate constants, and apparent volumes of distribution were similar between the two dosing regimens and essentially identical between the two nonlinear regression programs.
