Secondary parameters for mefloquine
| Cured infection median (min–max) (n = 93) | Recrudescent infection median (min–max) (n = 36) | p-values | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cmax (ng/ml) | 2050 (1290–2410) | 1980 (1280–2370) | 0.0107 |
| Tmax (h) | 7.54 (3.76–18.2) | 7.50 (4.92–16.6) | 0.832 |
| AUC0–150days (µg*h/ml) | 450 (144–731) | 455 (227–831) | 0.554 |
| t1/2 (days) | 9.72 (1.97–16.7) | 10.3 (5.58–17.9) | 0.0449 |
Cmax, maximum concentration; Tmax, time to reach the maximum concentration; AUC0–150days, area under the concentration–time curve from the first dose to day 150 after the first dose; t1/2, terminal elimination half-life. P-values were calculated using an unpaired t test
