  • Absorption_valueN/A
  • Absorption (description)Readily absorbed after oral administration; it appears in the blood within 2 h, peak concentrations being attained in 8 h. Mepacrine accumulates in the body during chronic administration and is widely distributed, high concentrations being found in the liver, lungs and spleen; it also persists in the skin and finger-nails.
