Abstract: AIM: To study the effect of famotidine on the pharmacokinetics of domperidone.METHODS: A single oral dose of domperidone 10 mg was given to 10 healthy volunteers under the condition of untaking or taking famotidine in a randomized, cross-over study.Plasma domperidone concentration was determined by a validated LC/MS/MS method.Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS software and compared by t tests.RESULTS: The concentration-time curve of domperidone with untaking or taking famotidine was conformed to a two-compartment model.Under untaking and taking famotidine conditions, the main pharmacokinetic parameters,t max , Cmax and AUC0-tn , were 0.63 ±0.36 and 1.50 ±0.97 h, 9.91 ±5.45 and 4.30 ±5.01 μg·L-1 , 39.57±10.46 and 32.43 ±9.61 μg·h·L-1 respectively.The absorption of domperidone was delayed, and the peak concentration and area under curve were reduced significantly when famotidine was taken.CONCLUSION: Famotidine had a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of domperidone after a single oral dose in healthy volunteer.
