Effect of CYP3A4 metabolism on sex differences in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of zolpidem

Abstract To investigate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic differences of zolpidem between males and females and their causes, including CYP3A4 activity. A single oral dose of zolpidem (10 mg) was administered to 15 male and 15 female healthy subjects. Blood samples were collected up to 12 h post-d...
