Abstract
1. The pharmacokinetics and side-effects of Dothiepin (DOT) were studied for four days after administration of a single oral dose of 75 mg to young adult and elderly subjects. 2. In the elderly DOT is absorbed, distributed and eliminated with half-lives about the same as in young adults but it is cleared less efficiently. 3. This difference of clearance in the elderly, after single-dose administration, is not reflected in increased incidence of side-effects.
