Qualaquin (Quinine) And Midazolam Alone And In Combination
All pharmacokinetic studies were begun after a fast of at least 10 hours. On day 1 all participants received a single oral dose of midazolam 2 mg. Blood was drawn at times sufficient to define the baseline kinetics of midazolam and 1-hydroxy-midazolam. After a 3 day washout period, on the morning of day 4, all participants began a regimen of 324 mg of quinine sulfate orally every 8 hours for a total of 21 doses. On day 9 after taking Qualaquin (quinine) for 5 days according to the stated regimen all participants took their usual dose of Qualaquin (quinine). Blood was drawn sufficient to characterize the steady state kinetics of quinine. On day 10 after taking Qualaquin (quinine) for 6 days according to the stated regimen, all participants took their usual dose of Qualaquin (quinine) with an oral dose of midazolam 2 mg. Blood was drawn sufficient to characterize the steady state kinetics of quinine and the kinetics of midazolam and 1-hydroxy-midazolam in the presence of each other.
