Abstract excerpt
The metabolism of imipramine in six poor metabolizers of mephenytoin was compared with the metabolism of 16 extensive metabolizers of mephenytoin from an earlier study. Each subject was given single doses of 100 mg imipramine hydrochloride and 100 mg desipramine hydrochloride on separate occasions. Imipramine demethylation clearance was 0.74 L.min-1 (mean; range, 0.31-1.24) in poor metabolizers of mephenytoin...
