Abstract excerpt
To investigate the importance of genetic factors for the regulation of haloperidol metabolism, we studied the disposition of a single oral dose of this drug in a panel of six extensive (EM) and six poor (PM) metabolizers of debrisoquine. PM eliminated haloperidol significantly slower than EM, the plasma half-life being longer (mean 29.4 +/- S.D. 4.2 and 16.3 +/- 6.4 h; p less than 0.01) and the clearance lower...
