Summary The biliary secretion of [14C]felodipine in 4 healthy human subjects was studied by use of the multiple marker dilution principle with double lumen tubes placed in the stomach and intestine. Insignificant amounts of14C activity were recovered from gastric aspirates. The individual recovery from intestinal aspirates varied from 2.9 to 8.5% of the dose of radioactivity over the period of 4.5 h after dosing. Less than 0.1% was identified as unchanged felodipine. The results show that biliary secretion is a minor route of elimination of felodipine or its metabolites. Bile collection for 4.5 h had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of felodipine, although the 72 h urinary recovery of radioactivity tended to be lower when bile was collected (59%) than in the control experiment (66%).
