Figure 4. Representive chromatogram from human plasma and urine from a single subject following a single oral administration of [14C]-viloxazine (nominal 100 mg; 8.7 MBq) to seven male human subjects. Metabolites P1 and U1 are considered to be the same metabolite and are indicated as such in the plasma chromatogram.
