V P Iakovlev, and A M Marshak, and V S Klimova, and L A Lur'e

Pharmacokinetics of 2 oral cephalosporin antibiotics, i.e. cephalexin and cephradin in surgical patients with normal function of the liver and kidneys was studied. Both the drugs were satisfactorily absorbed into the blood reaching the maximum level in 1 hour. The antibiotics were determined in close concentrations in the blood serum of the patients during 5 hours of the observation. No differences in the time of a two-fold decrease in the antibiotic serum level and the value of the area limited by the antibiotic blood level were found. Cephalexin and cephradin were excreted with the urine in equal amounts.
