Procainamide is a class Ia antiarrhythmic drug that alters the conduction in normal and ischemic cardiac tissues by sodium-channel blockade. After administration of a single oral dose of 600 mg procainamide to a patient the observed AUC was 15 mg-hr/L. What is the total body clearance of procainamide in this patient if the bioavailability of oral procainamide is 88% ?

1 - 40 L/hr 2 - 35 L/hr 3 - 528 L/hr 4 - 70 L/hr 5 - 40 L/hr 6 - 35 L/hr 7 - 528 L/hr 8 - 70 L/hr 9 - 40 L/hr 10 - 35 L/hr 11 - 528 L/hr 12 - 70 L/hr 13 - 40 L/hr 14 - 35 L/hr 15 - 528 L/hr 16 - 70 L/hr
