Drug

D0448 | mefloquine

Molecular Formula C17H16F6N2O
Molecular Weight 378.31
Structure
State solid
Clearance * 30 mL/min
Volume of distribution * 20 L/kg [healthy adults]
Route of elimination There is evidence that mefloquine is excreted mainly in the bile and feces. Urinary excretion of unchanged mefloquine and its main metabolite under steady-state condition accounted for about 9% and 4% of the dose, respectively.
Protein binding 0.98
Half life 2 to 4 weeks
Absorption Well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The presence of food significantly enhances the rate and extent of absorption.
Trade names Lariam, Mephaquin, Mefliam
Description phospholipid-interacting antimalarial drug (antimalarials)
