Peak DDAVP levels (Cmax) were higher for i.v. DDAVP (p less than 0.02), times to peak levels (tmax) were shorter for i.v. DDAVP (p less than 0.001).
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
To evaluate whether or not between-patient variability is related to DDAVP levels achieved in plasma, we measured drug levels in 14 hemophilic volunteers (VIII:C 2 to 31 U/dL) who were randomly given 0.3 micrograms/Kg of i.v. or s.c. DDAVP and crossed-over to the other treatment after an interval of 15-30 days.
