Single‐Dose Pharmacokinetics of Cetirizine in Patients With Chronic Liver Disease

Abstract: The pharmacokinetics of the H1-receptor antagonist cetirizine were studied from 0 to 72 hours after a single dose of 20 mg in 5 patients with chronic hepatocellular liver disease (group A), in 5 patients with chronic cholestatic liver disease (group B), and in 16 healthy volunteers. The renal function of patients and volunteers was normal (creatinine clearance > or = 70 mL/min). Cetirizine pharmacokinetics were similar in the two groups of patients. The elimination t1/2 was prolonged in patients (mean +/- stan… Show more

“…administration. Similar results were reported in the pharmacokinetic study of cetirizine, which had a T max of 1.09 h in the healthy volunteers and 2.50 h for the patients (Horsmans et al ., ). The function of the cardiac pump could be weakened by pericarditis, thereby disturbing the microcirculation (Dudzinski, et al .…”

“…Cetirizine and fexofenadine differ from the other non‐sedative antihistamines because they are eliminated primarily by renal excretion of the parent drug with little metabolism [2]. In consequence the drug interactions critical for terfenadine and astemizole would not be relevant, and renal disease rather than liver disease could result in elevated plasma concentrations, although increased AUC values and longer half‐lives have been reported in patients with chronic liver disease [31]. However, cetirizine was without ECG effects even after dosage for 7 days [32], indicating negligible risk of adverse cardiac effects.…”
