Any other information on results incl. tables

Study used 7 healthy young adult volunteers, sex unspecified.

Dose was 1 ml/kg of 3% sodium bromide, equivalent to 30 mg/kg bromide.

Three subjects were studies initially after treatment by the oral route and 4 were first treated intravenously.

Oral bioavailability as area under the curve ranged between 75-118% with a mean of 96 ± 6%.

Elimination T1/2 was 11.9 ± 1.4 days after oral administration and 9.4 ± 1.5 days after i.v. administration.

Bromide is distributed into the extracellular water space.

Bromide is eliminated by the kidney. The clearance rate in this study was 26 ± 1.7 mL/kg/day. This value reflects both the glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): no data
The pharmacokinetics of oral and intravenous bromide was studied in 7 healthy young adult volunteers, who served as their own controls. They received 1mL/kg of 3% sodium bromide, equivalent to 30 mg/kg bromide. Blood samples were taken just prior to administration and periodically during the subsequent 24 hours, and again at 3, 7 and 35 days post administration. Bromide concentrations were then determined by a slowpoke reactor.
Oral bioavailability ranged between 75-118% with a mean of 96 ± 6%.
Elimination T½ was 11.9 ± 1.4 days after oral administration and 9.4 ± 1.5 days after iv administration.
The results of the bromide distribution volume suggest that bromide is distributed into the extracellular water space.
Bromide is eliminated by the kidney. The clearance rate (Cl) in this study was 26 ± 1.7 mL/kg/day. This value reflects both the glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption.
