A double-blind cross-over study of the effects of HOE 760 (histamine H2-receptor blocker) on diazepam pharmacokinetics was conducted in 12 healthy men. HOE 760 or placebo was given daily for 12 days and, after a wash-out period of 9 days, the alternate medication was given for 12 days. Diazepam 10 mg was given intravenously on day 6 of each of the 12-day periods. Blood was taken up to 1 week after the diazepam injections for assay of diazepam and desmethyldiazepam. The co-administration of HOE 760 did not affect the pharmacokinetics of diazepam and desmethyldiazepam.
