Professional Services Department, Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., Nutley, N.J.

Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) has shown excellent tissue and body fluid penetration after a dose of 1-2 g: concentrations well above the minimal inhibitory concentrations of most pathogens responsible for infection are detectable for more than 24 h. Data from over 60 tissues were analyzed from the literature; a selection of comparative and noncomparative studies of clinical relevance is presented.

D014018	Tissue Distribution	Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios.	Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
