| pubmed-article:422302 | pubmed:abstractText | The pharmacokinetics of l-carnitine were studied in adult male patients following intravenous infusion of dl-carnitine hydrochloride-L-Carnitine appears to distribute into a rapidly perfused and then a more slowly perfused body space following administration. The overall apparent distribution volume Vd (ss) is consistent with extracellular body water. Serum levels of l-carnitine, from two different dose levels were adequately described by a two-compartment model. 80% of the administered dose was recovered in 24 hour post dose urine. | lld:pubmed |
