Abstract excerpt
Digoxin, a drug of narrow therapeutic index, is a substrate for common transmembrane transporter, P-glycoprotein, encoded by ABCB1 ( MDR1 ) gene. It has been suggested that ABCB1 polymorphism, as well as co-administration of P-glycoprotein inhibitors, may influence digoxin bioavailability. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of ABCB1 gene polymorphism and P-gp inhibitor co-administration on...
