CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACOKINETICS: Following a single 200 mg oral dose of
Hydroxychloroquine sulfate
tablets to healthy males, the mean peak blood concentration of
hydroxychloroquine was
129.6 ng/mL, reached in 3.26 hours with a half-life of 537 hours (22.4
days). In the
same study, the plasma peak concentration was 50.3 ng/mL reached in
3.74 hours with
a half-life of 2963 hours (123.5 days). Urine hydroxychloroquine
levels were still
detectable after 3 months with approximately 10% of the dose excreted
as the parent
drug. Results following a single dose of a 200 mg tablet versus i.v.
infusion (155 mg),
demonstrated a half-life of about 40 days and a large volume of
distribution. Peak blood
concentrations of metabolites were observed at the same time as peak
levels of
hydroxychloroquine. The mean fraction of the dose absorbed was 0.74.
After
administration of single 155 mg and 310 mg intravenous doses, peak
blood
concentrations ranged from 1161 ng/mL to 2436 ng/mL (mean 1918 ng/mL)
following
the 155 mg infusion and 6 months following the 310 mg infusion.
