Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Using a model-based approach, the efavirenz steady-state pharmacokinetics in African children is characterized, quantifying demographic and genotypic effects on the drug's disposition. Simulations are also conducted allowing prediction of optimized doses of efavirenz in this population. METHODS: We modelled the steady-state population pharmacokinetics of efavirenz in Ugandan and Zambian children using...
