Abstract:
The pharmacokinetics of two fluoxetine capsulated dosage forms and two amitriptyline tablet forms after a single oral intake was studied in dogs and healthy volunteers. High significant correlations were detected between plasma concentrations of fluoxetine (r=0.96, p<0.00001, n=11) and amitriptyline (r=0.78, p<0.0224, n=8) in dogs and volunteers. A correlation of medium strength (though insignificant) was detected between nortriptyline concentrations in the plasma of dogs and volunteers (r=0.69, p<0.199, n=5). The bioavailability parameters of the test drugs in dogs and volunteers did not differ. Similar trends of fluoxetine and amitriptyline pharmacokinetic parameters were revealed in volunteers and animals. Methods for extrapolation of experimental pharmacokinetics parameters of fluoxetine and amitriptyline obtained on dogs for humans are proposed and validated.

Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...

One key aspect of the noncompartmental approach is determining a drug's total clearance. This can be done by dividing the drug dose by the area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity. The area under the concentration-time curve represents the drug's...
