Alerts to potential under-exposure with oral lisinopril in heart failure; extends pharmacokinetic data to this population.
What are the pharmacokinetics of oral versus intravenous lisinopril in hospitalized patients with congestive heart failure?
Lisinopril exhibits reduced absorption and altered disposition in patients with congestive heart failure, suggesting disease state and age may affect its pharmacokinetics.
Till et al. (1989) studied this question.
