Title: The Absorption and Excretion of a Liquid Polyethylene Glycol*
Abstract: Additional data have been developed on the absorption and excretion of liquid polyethylene glycols. Results are reported of studies involving the administration of PEG 400 both orally and intravenously to human subjects and subsequently determining the rate and extent of excretion in the urine. Single oral DOSES OF PEG 400 were also administered to rabbits and the percentage recoveries from feces and urine determined. Evidences from these and other studies indicates, that ethylene glycol is not formed as a metabolite of PEG 400.
