Beth R. (58 kg, 63 years old) is suffering from symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia. She will be started on an oral multiple-dose regimen with the antiarrhythmic mexiletine. The population average values of mexiletine for clearance and volume of distribution are Cl = 0.5 L/h/kg and V = 6 L/kg, respectively. Although a therapeutic range of 0.5– 2 mg/L has been described, avoiding large peak-to- trough fluctuations is recommended. The available oral dosage forms are 150, 200, and 250 mg capsules with an oral bioavailability of 0.9%. Design an appropriate and practical oral-dosing regimen that keeps the plasma concentrations at an average concentration of approximately 1 mg/L, with a peak-to-trough fluctuation of less than or equal to 100% (between 0.75 and 1.5 mg/L). What dosing regimen should be used? A. 150 mg every 6 hours B. 200 mg every 6 hours C. 200 mg every 8 hours D. 250 mg every 8 hours
