Abstract
Sorbinil pharmacokinetics were studied, following a single oral dose, in eight male and eight female healthy, elderly volunteers. Elimination half-life tended to be longer in males than in females. There was no sex difference in AUC or renal clearance. The long elimination half-life of sorbinil in the elderly suggests that accumulation is likely to occur with chronic dosing.
