No effect of cefaclor on theophylline pharmacokinetics. 1985

J H Jonkman, and W J van der Boon, and R Schoenmaker, and A Holtkamp, and J Hempenius

The effect of the antibiotic drug cefaclor on steady state pharmacokinetics of theophylline was studied in healthy adults by comparing the pharmacokinetic parameters as found during a 9 days course of theophylline alone and as obtained during comedication with cefaclor. Theophylline plasma concentrations were measured by means of HPLC analysis. On the ninth day of each of the 2 periods of drug administration, a concentration-time curve was evaluated. It showed no influence of cefaclor on volume of distribution and clearance of theophylline and only a slight, but significant (p less than 0.05) influence on the values for Cmax and tmax after cefaclor co-treatment. It is concluded that both drugs can be given concomitantly without any dosage adjustment of theophylline.
