Comparative investigations on the bioavailability of cefuroxime axetil.

چکیده
In a three-way cross-over study the bioavailability of cefuroxime was determined in 12 healthy volunteers after oral administration of 250 mg as cefuroxime axetil (Elobact; CAS 64544-07-6) in a plain aqueous suspension and as tablets from different batches. The tablet formulations showed nearly identical pharmacokinetic parameters and were bioequivalent. The mean maximum serum concentration was 4.7 micrograms/ml, achieved after 2.1 h. The serum half-live was 1.2-1.4 h, the area under the serum concentration-time curve was 14.3-14.4 micrograms/ml.h and the urinary recovery of unchanged cefuroxime was 54%. The bioavailability of cefuroxime after administration of cefuroxime axetil in aqueous suspension was lower, but bio-inequivalence was not demonstrated.

Pharmacokinetics and tolerance of cefuroxime axetil in volunteers during repeated dosing.
A total of 158 volunteers each received 21 repeated oral doses of 500 mg of cefuroxime axetil (CAE) during four comparative cross-over trials. Pharmacokinetics were studied in 8 volunteers (CAE versus ampicillin), relative bioavailability and tolerance were studied in 100 volunteers (CAE versus pivmecillinam and CAE versus pivampicillin), and tolerance alone was studied in 50 volunteers (CAE ve...
متن کاملComparative clinical efficacy of single oral doses of cefuroxime axetil and amoxicillin in uncomplicated gonococcal infections.
Cefuroxime axetil (1.5 g) was compared with amoxicillin (3 g), both given as a single oral dose combined with probenecid (1 g) for the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea. Of 60 evaluable patients receiving amoxicillin, 55 (91.7%) were cured, whereas 55 (96.5%) of the 57 patients receiving cefuroxime axetil were cured (P greater than 0.1). Both drugs were well tolerated.
متن کاملBioequivalence study of 500 mg cefuroxime axetil film-coated tablets in healthy volunteers.
The aim of the study was to investigate the bioavailability of a generic product of 500 mg cefuroxime axetil film-coated tablets (test) as compared to that of a branded product (reference) at the same strength to determine bioequivalence and to apply for regulatory approval. The secondary objective of the study was to evaluate tolerability of both products. A double blinded, randomized, crossov...
