Median values are given in the top line of each row, and underneath are the range values. Regimen B, 150 mg of oseltamivir administered p.o. q12h for 3 days; regimen C, the same as regimen B, with the addition of 50 mg/h zanamivir i.v. infusion for 72 h; regimen D, the same as regimen B, with the addition of zanamivir 600 mg i.v. q12h for 3 days. t½, elimination half life; kel, elimination rate constant; Cmax, maximum concentration; Tmax, time to maximum concentration; AUC0-∞, area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity; AUC0-12, area under the plasma concentration-time curve between 0 and 12h; AUCobs, area under the plasma concentration-time curve between time zero and the time of the last measured concentration.
