title: Clindamycin excretion in the pancreatic fluid of dogs.
abstract: Clindamycin phosphate in dosage of 15 mg/kg was administered intravenously to dogs. Serum and pancreatic juice clindamycin concentrations were assayed. Pancreatic juice clindamycin concentrations varied between 1.32--5.5 micrograms/ml. Clindamycin was still detectable in the pancreatic juice 4 1/2 h after its administration. Clindamycin, in combination with other antimicrobials, may be potentially effective in the prophylaxis and therapy of some of the infectious complications associated with pancreatitis.
