Pharmacokinetics of famotidine in goats

There is currently limited pharmacokinetic data for the use of famotidine in goats for treatment and prevention of abomasal ulceration. The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters after a single intravenous administration of famotidine (0.6 mg/kg). Famotidine was administered to six healthy goats and plasma samples were collected over a 24-h period. The famotidine concentration was measured using reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Non-compartmental analysis was then used to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters. The maximum plasma concentration was estimated at 5476.68 ± 1530.51 ng/mL and elimination half-life was estimated at 18.455 ± 13.26 min. The mean residence ...
