After both . and . administration plasma drug concentrations were best fitted to an open two-compartment model with a rapid distribution phase. After . administration of NFLXGA the distribution ti 2a and elimination half-life ti 2p were h and h respectively. The volume of distribution of NFLXGA at steady state Vdss was l kg. After . administration of NFLXGA the maximal absorption concentration Cmax was qg ml at h Tmax . The mean absorption ti 2ka and elimination half-life ti 2P of NFLXGA were h and h respectively. The mean systemic bioavailability F after . administration was . We suggest that the optimal dosage calculated from the pharmacokinetic parameters is mg kg per day . or mg kg per day .
