Pharmacokinetics, dosage regimen and in vitro plasma protein binding of intramuscular levofloxacin in buffalo calves
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
The pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin following its single intramuscular administration (3 mg/kg) was investigated in six male buffalo calves. Peak plasma level of 2.95 ± 0.13μg/ml was observed at 1 h and the drug level above MIC90 in plasma was detected up to 12 h of administration. The bioavailability was 68.1 ± 5.4% and levofloxacin was bound to the plasma proteins to the extent of 19.1 ± 1.5%. High values of AUC (8.81 ± 0.37μg.h/ml) and Vdarea (1.06 ± 0.04 L/kg) reflected a vast area of body covered by drug concentration and appropriate penetration of levofloxacin into various body fluids and tissues. The elimination half-life and mean residence time were 3.27 ± 0.31 h and 5.4 ± 0.59 h, respectively. The total body clearance was 343.2 ± 14.1 ml/kg/h. An appropriate intramuscular dosage regimen for levofloxacin in buffalo calves would be 1.7 mg/kg repeated at 12-h intervals.

متن کاملComparative Pharmacokinetics and Dosage Regimen of Cefepime in Buffalo Calves (Bubalus bubalis) following Intravenous and Intramuscular Administration
The disposition kinetics and dosage regimen of cefepime were compared after its intravenous and intramuscular administration at 10 mg.kg-1 in healthy buffalo calves. The drug concentration in plasma was estimated by microbiological assay. The peak plasma concentration of cefepime after intravenous injection was at 1 min (46.4 ± 0.40 g.ml-1) and after intramuscular administration it was at afte...

The pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion following single intramuscular administration of levofloxacin at a dose of 4 mg/kg was investigated in seven male cross bred calves. Appreciable plasma concentration of levofloxacin (0.38+/-0.06 microgram/ml) was detected at 1 min after injection and the peak plasma level of 3.07+/-0.08 microgram/ml was observed at 1 h. The drug level above MIC90 in pl...
