The continuum distorted-wave-eikonal initial-state model is extended to study ionisation of hydrogen atoms in arbitrary initial states by multiply charged ion impact. These results are used to study total cross sections as a function of the impact energy for ionisation of the first excited stage by proton impact. The dependence on the projectile charge is discussed and compared with results for the ionisation of the ground state and with predictions from the first Born approximation.
