Pharmacokinetics of Glucosamine in the
Dog
| Article
Summary: |
Glucosamine
sulfate was administered to a dog to examine the
absorption of the glucosamine in the dog’s
system. Glucosamine was administered via an IV or
via oral consumption. After administration with
the IV, the glucosamine appears in the plasma quickly
and peaks at 8 hours. After oral consumption of
glucosamine, the absorption is done via the digestive
tract, but after which the activity of the glucosamine
mirrors the effects after the IV administration.
Other studies in the rat and man provide similar
results, that the use of the oral administration
is just as well absorbed as the IV. |
