Comparative pharmacokinetics of cyclacillin and amoxicillin in infants and children.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concentrations of cyclacillin in serum over a 6-h period were similar in fasted and milk-fed infants who received 25-mg/kg doses of cyclacillin suspension. Measured by the concentration in serum after oral administration of 15-mg/kg doses, cyclacillin was absorbed more rapidly, reached larger concentrations, and was cleared more promptly than was amoxicillin.

متن کاملPharmacokinetics of Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid Combination after Oral Administration of New Suspension Formulations in Human Volunteers
The pharmacokinetic properties of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid when used alone or in combination may be different and show interaction between these two agents that might decrease the absolute bioavailability of clavulanic acid. In an open, randomized, replicated Latin square under fasting condition, pharmacokinetics of new formulations of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid were compared with...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of potassium clavulanate in combination with amoxicillin in pediatric patients.
Two dosages of a liquid suspension formulation of amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate were tested in 34 infants and children. The smaller dosage resulted in suboptimal plasma concentrations. With a greater dosage (3.3 mg of clavulanate per kg and 13.3 mg of amoxicillin per kg), the mean peak plasma concentrations were 1.6 micrograms clavulanic acid per ml and 4.9 micrograms amoxicillin per ml.
