Popis: This study explores the hypotheses that: (1) ethanol will interact with dl-Methylphenidate (MPH) to enantioselectively elevate plasma d-MPH, and primarily yield l-ethylphenidate as a transesterification metabolite; (2) women will exhibit lower relative bioavailability of MPH than men; and (3) sex-dependent differences in subjective effects will exist. dl-MPH HCl (0.3 mg/kg) was administered orally 30 min before ethanol, 30 min after ethanol (0.6 gm/kg), or without ethanol, in a randomized, normal subject three-way crossover study of 10 men and 10 women. Pharmacokinetic parameters were compared. Subjective effects were recorded using visual analog scales. One subject was a novel poor MPH metabolizer whose data were analyzed separately. Ethanol after or before MPH significantly (P
