Change in bioavailability of nefazodone with time

Permalink 07:45:05 pm, Categories: Antidepressants  

Nefazodone undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism, resulting in bioavailability of only 15 – 23%. As is usually the case, first-pass metabolism becomes saturated with chronic dosing, resulting in greater elevations of plasma concentration with dosage increases later in treatment.
