    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin was studied in 6 healthy volunteers and in 5 patients with a pleural effusion after administration of a single dose of 30 mg/kg i.v. infusion. The serum and pleural fluid concentrations of cefoxitin were determined microbiologically. The elimination half-life of the antibiotic from pleural fluid in all cases was 2–3fold longer than from serum, which shows a difference between the kinetic elimination processes of the antibiotic from the two fluids. The slow elimination of cefoxitin from pleural fluid facilitates its accumulation in this compartment during a multiple dosage regimen.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of Cefoxitin was studied in 8 cirrhotic patients with ascites after i.v. administration of a single 30 mg/kg dose. Concentrations of cefoxitin in serum and in ascitic fluid were determined simultaneously by a microbiologic plate diffusion method. The antibiotic followed a two-compartment open kinetic model. In ascitic fluid, Cefoxitin reached its maximum concentration of 32.80±13,78 µg/ml 2 h after administration. The mean elimination constant from ascitic fluid was 0.201±0.008 h−1, significantly lower (p〈0.05) than the slow disposition phase constant (β=0.556±0.17 h−1). At the dose studied and with a dosage interval of 8 h, the level of antibiotic in the ascitic fluid would be maintained at a value greater than the MIC of most cefoxitin-sensitive organisms.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin have been determined after a single i.v. injection of 15 mg/kg body weight in 10 patients with normal renal function and 20 patients with varying degrees of renal impairment. The kinetics of the antibiotic followed an open two-compartment model. In patients with normal renal function the following pharmacokinetic parameters were found: $$\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\alpha = 8.66 h^{ - 1} } & {\beta = 1.21 h^{ - 1} } & {K_{12} = 3.47 h^{ - 1} } \\ \end{array} \hfill \\ \begin{array}{*{20}c} {K_{21} = 3.17 h^{ - 1} } & {K_{13} = 3.15 h^{ - 1} } & {V_c = 4.24 l.} \\ \end{array} \hfill \\ \begin{array}{*{20}c} {V_p = 4.87 l.} & { Vd_{ss} = 9.11 l.} \\ \end{array} \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ In the patients with renal impairment there was a significant decrease in $$\mathop \alpha \limits_, \mathop \beta \limits_, $$ K12, K21 and K13, and an increase in the apparent volume of distribution. The degree of plasma protein binding in patients with normal renal function was 73.6% and this was diminished in patients with renal impairment. A linear relationship between K13 of cefoxitin and creatinine clearance was demonstrated. The dosage regimen for patients with renal impairment should be adjusted by modifying the dosage interval whilst maintaining the amount administered.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin was studied in patients with renal impairment during haemofiltration and in the intervening periods after administration of 30 and 15 mg/kg of the drug, respectively. Different pharmacokinetic patterns were established during haemofiltration and in the interim period, with average elimination half-lives of 11.85±4.3 and 3.41±0.6 h, respectively. The average fraction of the cefoxitin dose eliminated in haemofiltration was 0.62±0.11, more than that established in haemodialysis. In patients with terminal renal impairment undergoing haemofiltration every 48 h, a dose of 15 or 30 mg/kg is recommended at the start and at the end of each haemofiltration session.
