  • Title: Digoxin pharmacokinetics in premature infants.
    Author: Hastreiter AR, Simonton RL, van der Horst RL, Benawra R, Mangurten H, Lam G, Chiou WL.
    Journal: Pediatr Pharmacol (New York); 1982; 2(1):23-31. PubMed ID: 7110753.
    Abstract:
    An analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of digoxin was carried out in six premature infants after the administration of a single total digitalizing dose of 20 microgram/kg. The data was analyzed using both a 2 and 3 exponential model. In the premature infant, the plasma half-life of digoxin is prolonged, while the volume of the central compartment, total body clearance, volume of distribution and volume of distribution at steady state are reduced compared to other aged patients.
