Abstract
THE urinary excretion of amphetamine in man has been previously examined, both with regard to the elimination kinetics1,2 and the total amount of unchanged drug excreted1–9. However, the majority of assay procedures adopted were non-specific, and no detailed investigation on the excretion kinetics of amphetamine, using a specific method of assay, appears to have been published.
