Observed ranges and means are displayed above for quinine urine concentrations (ng/mL) and elimination rate (μg/h). Peak (Cmax) and trough (Cmin) values that occurred during active dosing are also displayed. Calculations were conducted on raw, non-modeled data that was not normalized with respect to creatinine concentrations.
