Summary Phenylbutazone treatment can cause digestive-tract hemorrhages, but its concentration in the blood at the time of hemorrhage is generally not known. In two patients who had had digestive tract hemorrhages, the variation in the serum phenylbutazone concentration throughout treatment and just before hemorrhage was simulated by a two-compartment model based on assays (gas-liquid chromatography) made after the hemorrhage. Identification of the parameters of the model and simulation of changes in concentration during therapy suggested that the phenylbutazone level in serum at the time of hemorrhage was 101 and 125 µg/ml respectively.
