Summary Five patients with a creatinine clearance of 14 to 37 ml/min/1.73 m2 were each given an oral dose of 10 mg of the beta-blocker mepindolol sulphate (Corindolan). In addition, two dialysis patients received the same dose either during hemodialysis or on a dialysis-free day. Plasma levels of mepindolol were measured by a sensitive, specific HPLC method. Mepindolol was rapidly absorbed in all the patients. The maximum plasma level of 35±8 ng/ml was reached after 1.4±0.5 h. The half-life of disposition was 4.0±1.5 h. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve was 237±84 ng × h/ml. The data obtained were no different from those found in normal healthy volunteers.
