[Comparative pharmacokinetics of paracetamol in humans following single oral and rectal administration (author's transl)]. 1979

R Liedtke, and G Berner, and W Haase, and W Nicolai, and R Staab, and H H Wagener

The pharmacokinetic behaviour of N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (paracetamol) after single dose applications of 500 mg and 1000 mg dosages in the form of liquids, tablets and suppositories was compared. The estimation of the pharmacokinetic constants by a simultaneous curve fitting with a direct search procedure, based on an open two-compartment model, showed for the liquid as well as for the tablet formulation a good conformable and dosage proportional behaviour of the relative bioavailability. In opposite to the oral application, the suppositories had a significantly reduced invasion kinetics with a comparable elimination kinetics characterized by a lowering of Cmax and an increase of Tmax-values with comparable AUCs. The calculation of collapse-coefficients showed, with the exception of one suppository formulation, for all administrations a pharmacokinetic behaviour deviating from an open one-compartment model. The clinical consequences resulting from the pharmacokinetic behaviour of the different galenic formulations and routes of administrations are discussed.
