1 An oral dose of 75 mg/kg body weight was used to study the kinetics of sulphafurazole in wellnourished and undernourished adult subjects. 2 There were no differences in the half-life, volume of distribution and total body clearance of the drug in the two groups of subjects. 3 The plasma protein binding of sulphafurazole was significantly reduced in the undernouished subjects. 4 It is concluded that alternations in the dosage schedule may not be necessary in the treatment of undernourished adults with sulphafurazole.
