The definitions of the parameter terms are as follows: Cmax, maximum concentration of drug in serum; Tmax, time to maximum concentration of drug in serum; AUC0–24, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h; AUC0–336, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 336 h; AUC0–∞, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity; ke, elimination rate constant; t1/2, plasma half-life; Cl, drug clearance rate; VZ, volume of distribution based on terminal elimination phase.
The first sampling time was 5 min. Tmax was extrapolated to the zero time point because all values after 5 min were below that of the 5-min sample.
