Abstract

1 The kinetics of primaquine have been studied in twenty volunteers after single and multiple dose regimes. 2 The kinetic parameters were similar in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) normal Thais, G6PD deficient Thais and in Caucasians. 3 The Caucasian subjects showed about 1% of the dose was excreted in the urine. 4 The kinetic parameters obtained from multiple dose studies in Thais were very similar to those obtained from single dose studies in Thais.
