| Popis: | The disposition of, and pharmacological response to, a single intravenous dose of vitamin K1 (10 mg) was studied in eleven patients on daily warfarin therapy. The pharmacokinetics of vitamin K1 in patients were similar to those reported previously in healthy volunteers, terminal half-life 1.7 h. All patients had been taking warfarin for at least 3 months. Steady state warfarin plasma concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 1.4 micrograms ml-1. Prothrombin complex activity ranged from 15 to 28.5%. There was considerable inter-individual variation in pharmacodynamic response as expressed by prothrombin complex activity (PCA) and Factor VII. The maximum values for PCA and Factor VII were reached at 24-96 h and 24-48 h, respectively, after the administration of vitamin K1. Vitamin K1 (10 mg) has a long duration of action (greater than 168 h) in terms of clotting factor synthesis in patients on steady state warfarin. All the patients on warfarin had measurable levels (CPmax 0.3-1.2 micrograms ml-1) of vitamin K1 2, 3-epoxide. There was a significant correlation between the pharmacodynamic response as expressed by change in % PCA and the AUC for vitamin K1 2,3-epoxide (P less than 0.05). |
