Abstract
The pharmacokinetic parameters of ketoprofen were determined in four d onkeys after a single intravenous injection of a dose of 2.2 mg/kg bod y weight. The total body clearance (Cl-B) was 414.0 +/- 98.70 ml/h/kg (mean +/- SD), the volume of distribution at steady state (V-5S) 263.1 0 +/- 55.43 ml/kg and the elimination half-life 1.30 +/- 0.75 h. These values were compared to those obtained in horses.
