OTHER INFORMATION

Peak concentrations occur 1 hour after oral and 0.6 hour after IV dosesOral bioavailability of 75% Active metabolite is renally excreted (approximately 30%)In patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance

<10 : mL/min), maximum plasma levels of metabolite are increased 17% or 34%, respectively, after intravenous or oral administration of dolasetron, and systemic exposure is increased approximately 2-fold dolasetron mesilate.
