چکیده
purpose : to investigate the penetration of cefixime and ciprofloxacin to the rabbit eye on the basis of microbial inhibition of aqueous and vitreous humour after oral administration. methods : in this experimental study, 36 rabbits (72 eyes) were randomly divided into two groups group a consisted of 20 rabbits and group b 16 rabbits. each group was divided into four equal subgroups. the rabbits in each subgroup of group a received 4, 8, 12, and 20 mg/kg of syrup of cefixime every 12 hr respectively and the rabbits in each subgroup of group b received 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg tablet of ciprofloxacin respectively every 12 hr. immediately after the first dose of the drugs, the anterior chamber of one eye was irrigated randomly by 30-40 cc of ringer lactate solution alongside with mild traumatization of iris. then by 4, 8, 12, 24 and 72 hr intervals after the 3rd dose, 0.1 cc of aqueous, 0.2-0.5 cc of vitreous, 3 cc of blood and one standard disk of the used antibiotic was placed on culture media of a known bacteria which was completely sensitive to the respective antibiotic. forty eight hours later, the microbial inhibition zone of each sample and the standard disk of antibiotic were compared. results : no microbial inhibition was seen by sample of aqueous and vitreous, although very large zone of inhibition was seen by blood sample and standard disk of antibiotic. conclusion : it seems that oral cefixime and ciprofloxacin do not produce an effective dose for microbial inhibition in rabbit eye . iranian journal of ophthalmology 200820(3):15-18
