1. Administration of 2-diethylaminoethyl-2,2-diphenylvalerate hydrochloride (SKF 525-A), 40 mg/kg, i.p., simultaneously or 40 min before sulphacetamide sodium, 100 mg/kg, i.p., was associated with a three-fold increase in sulphacetamide plasma concentration of rats. This effect was no longer evident after 30 minutes.2. ⋯ When sulphacetamide was administered i.v., a similar phenomenon was observed but the differences were less marked.4. Pretreatment with SKF 525-A was associated with decreased excretion of sulphacetamide by the kidney.5. It is concluded that SKF 525-A may alter the distribution and excretion of drugs as well as inhibiting drug metabolizing enzymes.
