a

Results are from a noncompartmental analysis except where indicated. Values are presented as arithmetic means plus or minus SD; median and range are listed for Tmax.

b

Dose corresponds to mg equivalents of BAL4815.

c

Obtained by two-compartmental analysis.

d

V corresponds to VZ/F after oral administration and to VSS after intravenous infusion; CLS corresponds to CLS/F after oral administration.
