Pharmacokinetics of single-dose intravenous, oral, and intraperitoneal pefloxacin in patients on chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

J L Schmit et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1991 Jul.

Abstract

Comparison of plasma and dialysate concentrations of pefloxacin after intravenous, oral, or intraperitoneal administration shows excellent bidirectional diffusion of the quinolone through the peritoneal membrane, demonstrating that therapeutical concentrations can be achieved in the dialysate after intravenous or oral administration. In this study, the half-life of the drug was 18.8 +/- 1.4 h, i.e., apparently longer than that reported for normal controls or uremic patients on hemodialysis.
