Pharmacokinetics of intracameral voriconazole injection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Elimination of voriconazole after intracameral injection exhibited an exponential decay with a half-life of 22 min. Voriconazole levels in the vitreous humor were below the detectable limit. The aqueous concentrations achieved with a 25-microg dose during the first 2 h were greater than the previously reported MICs of organisms most involved in fungal endophthalmitis. A rapid decline in intracameral concentration suggests that frequent supplementation of intracameral voriconazole may be required in clinical settings.

Voriconazole is an antifungal triazole, approved for management of invasive fungal diseases in patients. It is absorbed during two hours and its serum levels will be above 90%, based on the underlying factors, when the drug is administered orally. Voriconazole shows a propotional increase in an area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), with increasing dose. Plasma protein binding of...
