ResumoThe disposition of a single oral dose of diltiazem hydrochloride was studied in six male patients treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Peak concentrations were obtained 2 to 4 hours postdose. The mean absorption rate constant was 0.94 ± 0.21 (sd) hr ‐1 , and the mean elimination half‐life was 3.09 ± 1.16 hr. Serum levels of deacetyldiltiazem, a metabolite of diltiazem, were always below 10 ng/mL. The amounts of diltiazem and deacetyldiltiazem eliminated in dial ysate over 24 hours represent less than 0.1% of the administered dose. The pharmacokinetic parameters of diltiazem determined in these patients did not differ from those determined in healthy volunteers and in patients suffering from end‐stage renal disease.
