To investigate the autoinduction of carbamazepine (CBZ) metabolism in Chinese, eleven healthy male volunteers joined in this study. There were two phases of drug administration with a wash-out interval of one month, 400 mg CBZ was taken orally in single-dose phase, and 200 mg three times per day were given for seven days in multiple-dose phase. Plasma samples were obtained in series of time after the last dose of drug in each phase. CBZ concentrations were determined by a high pressure liquid chromatography method. A non-linear regression program was applied in a personal computer to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters. The average CBZ half-lives in single- and multiple-dose phases were 50.1 +/- 12.1 (mean +/- SD) hours and 26.1 +/- 4.2 hours and the clearances were 16.4 +/- 3.3 ml/kg/h and 45.3 +/- 23.4 ml/kg/h respectively, both with significant differences (p less than 0.005). There is evidence to support the presumption of autoinduction in Chinese.
