Participant Flow

Participants were randomized to receive a single dose of quinine 648 mg (2 x 324 mg) either as intact capsules or capsules opened and their contents mixed in 120 mL chocolate pudding after a fast of at least 10 hours. Following a 7 day wash out period, all participants were given the alternate dose under similar conditions.

Measure
Quinine Alone First
Participants were randomized to receive a single dose of quinine 648 mg (2 x 324 mg) as intact capsules after a fast of at least 10 hours. Blood was drawn at times sufficient to characterize quinine pharmacokinetics after this dose. Following a 7 day wash out period, all participants were given quinine 648 mg (2 x 324 mg) as capsules opened and their contents mixed in 120 mL chocolate pudding under similar conditions.
Quinine With Chocolate Pudding First
Participants were randomized to receive a single dose of Quinine 648 mg (2 x 324 mg capsules) opened and mixed in 120 mL chocolate pudding after a fast of at least 10 hours. Blood was drawn at times sufficient to characterize the pharmacokinetics of quinine after this dose. Following a 7 day wash out period, all participants were given Quinine 648 mg (2 x 324 mg) as intact capsules under similar conditions.
