title: A preliminary report on cephradine.
abstract: Plasma cephradine levels were measured after parenteral and oral administration to healthy adults. Plasma cephradine contrations of 7 - 15 mug/ml were measured after 0.5 g had been administered by mouth, and concentrations of 12 - 57 mug/ml were measured after parenteral administration; they fell to 3 mug/ml within 240 minutes except after intramuscular administration. The results of an open clinical trial conducted among 10 patients suffering from urinary tract infections were satisfactory.
