- Description
- The pharmacokinetics of cyclizine, a piperazine derivative useful in the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting, was investigated in six healthy male volunteers following an intravenous bolus dose. The drug is extensively distributed with a mean volume of distribution of 16.50 ± 3.33 l/kg and a mean total clearance of 0.870 ± 0.105 l/h per kg. Urinary excretion data showed that less than one percent of the dose was excreted up to 36 h as unchanged drug in the urine. The extremely low mean renal clearance (0.005 ± 0.002 l/h per kg) for the parent drug comprised only a small proportion of total clearance indicating that urinary excretion of parent drug is not a major route of elimination for cyclizine. The drug appears to exhibit biexponential pharmacokinetics and has a terminal elimination half-life of approximately 13 h.
