[The level of fluoxetine in blood plasma and washed from eritrizite supernatant].

ABSTRACT

Antidepressant Fluoxetine and their major therapeutically active metabolite Norfluoxetine was monitored in albumene and glicoproteene of blood plasma and washed from eritrozite supernatant. In paper we describe rapid and reliable method using high-performance liquid chromatography for simultaneous measurement of plasma and supernatant concentration of Fluoxetine and Norfluoxetine. The described method has been successfully used in clinical and laboratory cases. Large interindividual variations in plasma and supernatan concentrations of Fluoxetine and their major metabolite have been shown. In albumene fractions of blood plasma the level of Fluoxetine is more higher then in supernatant. A successful development of the clinico-pharmacokinetic direction at the present stage is due to improvement and standardization of methods of clinical and pharmacokinetic examination which help to ensure a reliable pretreatment identification of patients potentially sensitive to pharmacotherapy with antidepressants.
