Pharmacokinetics:

Once inside C max achieved within 1-3 h and is 0.07–0.1 mg/ml. Bioavailability of 40-45%. T1/2 from plasma is 2.3–3.5 hours, with Cl creatinine less than 10 ml/min T1/2 may increase to 20 h Passes through the placenta and is excreted in breast milk. After receiving the drug inside, in an unmodified form with urine output 30-35%, and after in/introductions — 65-70% of the drug.

Description pharmacological action:

Selectively blocks histamine H2-receptors. Decreases basal and stimulirovannuyu secretion of gastric juice, the content of hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The action starts in 1 hour and lasts for 10-12 h After in/introductions the maximum effect develops within 30 minutes does Not affect the enzymatic system of cytochrome P450 in the liver and metabolic rate at the same time accept drugs that biotransformiroyutza with the participation of cytochrome P450.

In/in struino or drip (used when it is impossible ingestion). Usual dose — 20 mg 2 times a day (every 12 hours).

Zollingerellison syndrome: initial dose is 20 mg every 6 h. further the dose depends on the level of acid secretion and the clinical condition of the patient.

To prevent complications of acid aspiration possible enter/20 mg before surgery or at least 2 h before the operation.

Single dose at/in the introduction should not exceed 20 mg.

In renal failure, if creatinine Cl is <30 ml/min or serum creatinine blood &ge3 mg/100 ml, the daily dose should be reduced to 20 mg or increase interval between doses to 36-48 h

Daily dose of Quamatel at/in the introduction is 20 mg every 12 hours
