    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics and clinical effects of cefuroxime were investigated in 5 patients with severe impairment of renal function (creatinine clearance ⪕ 23 ml/min), suffering from an urinary tract infection. Bolus i.v. injections of cefuroxime 750 mg b.i.d. or 750 mg once daily were given to the patients depending on the degree of renal impairment. The concentration of drug in serum and urine was measured during treatment, and pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated on the second and last days; the parameters obtained on the 2 days did not differ significantly. Drug elimination half-life increased from 4.2 h (creatinine clearance 23.0 ml/min) to 22.3 h (creatinine clearance 5.0 ml/min) with decreasing renal function. The apparent volume of distribution ranged from 11.6 to 17.91, and showed a substantial increase to 29.61 in the patient with the poorest renal function. A linear correlation was found between the total and renal clearance of cefuroxime and the creatinine clearance; the extrarenal clearance was 8.24 ml/min. Concomitant treatment with furosemide did not impair renal function and no evidence of nephrotoxicity was found. The clinical efficacy of the drug was good. Symptoms of infection subsided after 3–4 days and the isolated pathogens were eradicated. No relapse or episodes of reinfection were observed in a following-up period of 3 months. The drug was well tolerated and no side effects or changes in haematological or biochemical values were seen.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime in 37 patients suffering from serious bacterial infections. All the patients had impairment of renal function and received moderate to high doses of frusemide concurrently. The doses of ceftazidime were given according to renal function as recommended by the manufacturer. Serum and urine samples were frequently collected, and drug concentrations measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The patients were grouped and evaluated according to renal function, mean (SD) creatinine clearances ranging from 70.1 (12.4) to 11.0 (3.2) ml·min−1. The pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime depended on renal function. A statistically significant increase in ceftazidime elimination half-life and decreases in urinary recovery, total body clearance, and renal clearance in proportion to the decrease in renal function were observed (p〈0.05). The apparent volume of distribution also increased, but not significantly (p〉0.05). A linear correlation was found between the total body and renal clearances of ceftazidime and creatinine clearance. The extrarenal clearance increased from 3.9 to 14.0 ml·min−1 with decreasing renal function. Concurrent treatment with ceftazidime and moderate to high doses of frusemide did not impair renal function and no evidence of nephrotoxicity was found.

    Pharmacokinetics and tissue concentrations of ceftazidime in burn patients (1988)

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics and tissue concentrations of ceftazidime have been investigated in 8 patients with severe burns (20–80% of body surface area) undergoing skin transplantation 2 to 21 days after injury. Two prophylactic doses of ceftazidime were administered as 1 g i.v. bolus injections with an 8 h interval. Blood, urine, burn blister fluid and tissue were frequently sampled and drug concentrations were analyzed by HPLC. The kinetics of ceftazidime was the same after each dose. In these patients the pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime was greatly altered from that in other patients and there was much interindividual variation. The mean ceftazidime elimination half-life, apparent volume of distribution and total clearance were: 2.7 h, 30.91 (0.38 l·kg−1) and 139 ml·min−1, respectively. A linear correlation was found between creatinine clearance and the renal clearance of the ceftazidime, the mean values being 108 and 95 ml·min−1, respectively. No correlation was found between creatinine clearance and the total clearance of ceftazidime. The mean percentage urine recovery was 69% of the dose. Tissue and burn blister fluid concentrations were above the MIC, and ranged from 40.0 to 3.1 mg·kg−1. A substantial increase in the apparent volume of distribution and non-renal clearance of ceftazidime was observed, probably due to increased capillary permeability and drug loss through the wound surface replacement of prior to surgery and subsequently to lost and blood fluid.

    Notes: Summary Fourteen elderly subjects (10 women, 4 men) with a mean age of 81 (SD 6.7) years and in need of anti-inflammatory drug treatment were given a single dose of 20 mg tenoxicam. After a drug-free interval of 5 weeks, multiple dose treatment with 20 mg tenoxicam once daily for 56 days was initiated. The single and multiple dose kinetics of tenoxicam were investigated after HPLC determination of tenoxicam in the plasma. The elimination half-life of tenoxicam ranged from 44 to 132 h (mean 71.9 h) with no significant difference between the single and multiple dosage regimens. Tenoxicam reached maximum plasma concentrations after 1.4 and 1.1 h, with values of 3.6 and 15.5 µg·ml−1, for the single and multiple dosage regimen respectively. The corresponding trough values (24-h values) were 1.8 and 11.7 µg·ml−1. A mean accumulation ratio of 5.1 was calculated. The mean increase in the area under the plasma concentration time curves at steady-state was 21% more than predicted from the initial single dose. This deviation from linearity was considered to be of minor clinical significance. The kinetics of tenoxicam in elderly were similar to that published for young healthy volunteers.

    Notes: Summary After administration of ceftazidime as a 1 g i.v. bolus injection, its concentration was measured by HPLC at frequent intervals in serum, bile and tissue from different parts of the biliary tract in 32 patients undergoing operation for biliary tract disease. In bile from the functioning gallbladder and common bile duct, a high concentration of ceftazidime was found, mean 18.5 and 26.6 mg/l, respectively. In bile from the non-functioning gallbladder, a very low concentration was found (〈1.5 mg/l). Ceftazidime in the gallbladder wall varied considerably with the type and degree of inflammation judged histologically; the mean level was 21.3 mg/kg. The elimination half-life of ceftazidime was 1.74 h, apparent volume of distribution 20.01 and total plasma clearance 133 ml/min. In bile from T-tube specimens a high concentration was found, the mean peak values being 27.2 mg/l. However, biliary excretion of the drug was low at less than 0.5% of the administered dose. These concentrations of ceftazidime were sufficient to inhibit the in-vitro growth of pathogens, namely theEnterobacteriaecae commonly responsible for biliary tract infection.
