CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACOKINETICS
Following a single 200 mg oral dose of hydroxychloroquine sulfate 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. Pharmacokinetic
parameters were not significan
