The pharmacokinetics of cefadroxil associated with probenecid. 1981

E L Mariño, and A Dominguez-Gil

The effects of probenecid on the pharmacokinetic parameters of cefadroxil administered in a single dose of 500 mg are studied. The serum and urine levels of the antibiotic were determined by a microbiologic plate diffusion method. The antibiotic follows a single-compartment model. The half-life of cefadroxil in serum has an average value of 1.13 h, rising to 1.63 h when the antibiotic is associated with probenecid. The apparent distribution volume remains unmodified with a value close to 23 liters. The lag time is 0.25 h in the absence of probenecid, rising to 1.029 h in the presence of the uricosuric agent.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011339	Probenecid	The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.
