Effects of intravenous and oral propantheline and metoclopramide on ethanol absorption

Abstract: The separate effects of propantheline, atropine, and metoclopramide on ethanol absorption have been studied in man. Intravenous propantheline lowered blood ethanol levels after ingestion of a standard ethanol load. Oral propantheline, at dose levels currently recommended for therapeutic use, was without significant effect on ethanol tolerance, whereas the tolerance was reduced by oral atropine. Propantheline bromide tablets have been shown to undergo significant hydrolysis at alkaline pH in vitro. Metocloprami… Show more

“…Propantheline and metocJopramide have been shown to retard and accelerate, respectively, the absorption of tetracycline, pivampicillin (Gothonl et al, 1972) and alcohol (Finch et al, 1974;Gibbons and Lant, 1975). MetocJopramide was effective by the intravenous or oral route whereas propantheline was without signifIcant effect when given orally.…”

“…Intramuscular or intravenous metoclopramide increased the rate of aspirin , paracetamol and alcohol absorption, and oral metoclopramide also increased the rate of alcohol (Gibbons and Lant, 1975) and tetracycline absorption (Nimmo, 1973).

“…In addition, the effect of the drug on gastric emptying is not apparent under some test conditions in normals (Ramsbottom & Hunt, 1970) but clear in others (Kreel et al, 1972). The measurement of drug (Heading, Nimmo, Prescott & Tothill, 1973) or ethanol (Finch, Kendall & Mitchard, 1974;Gibbons & Lant, 1975) absorption is an index of gastric emptying rate. We have used ethanol absorption as a method of measuring gastric emptying.…”
