Popis: | Although the oral anticoagulant acenocoumarol (AC) is very effectively metabolized by the intestinal microflora to its amino metabolite, under clinical conditions this route of AC-disposition is of no importance because the compound is rapidly absorbed from its pharmaceutical application form. Only when the gastro-intestinal absorption is retarded, for instance by using a capsule as vehiculum, are appreciable amounts of reduced metabolites recovered in urine. |
