TABLE 3

Pharmacokinetic parameters of saquinavir in New Zealand White female rabbits after USI administration at 5 mg/kg in the absence or presence of CYP3A or P-gp inhibitors Pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed based on systemic arterial concentrations of saquinavir. Data presented are mean and S.E.M. from 2 to 5 animals per treatment.
