Mercer et al. (1977) proposed a three-phase experimental design to establish withdrawal times, based on plasma pharmacokinetics. This approach was the premise of a study in which plasma pharmacokinetics and tissue depletion data of oxytetracycline after intramuscular administration were correlated. Correlations between estimated and measured concentrations were shown to be significant for kidney tissue (r = .9236, p < .001), liver tissue (r = .9302, p < .01) as well as for muscle tissue (r = .9045, p < .001). The data presented support the pharmacokinetic approach as proposed by Mercer et al. (1977) and demonstrate that tissue elimination rates correlate highly with elimination rates in plasma. Although generalizations must be applied with caution, this article shows that when certain criteria are fulfilled, plasma pharmacokinetics can reliably predict tissue withdrawal times.

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
