Table 2.
Pharmacokinetic parameters of prednisolone after a single 60 mg oral dose before and after repeated administration of itraconazole for 4 days to 14 subjects.
| Cmax (ng ml−1) | tmax (h) | t1/2 (h) | AUC(0,24 h) (ng ml−1 h) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prednisolone | 587 [532,642] | 2 (1–4) | 3.7 [3.3,4.1] | 3860 [3365,4356] | 
| Prednisolone + itraconazole | 668 [592,744] | 3 (1–5) | 4.2 [3.7,4.7] | 4571 [3997,5145] | 
| Differences between means | 81 [−5,167] | – | 0.5 [−0.2,1.2] | 710 [−69,1489] | 
Data are mean [95% CI]; tmax is given as median (range). Cmax peak plasma concentration, tmax time to Cmax, t1/2 elimination half-life, AUC area under the plasma concentration-time curve.
