[A pharmacokinetic study of antibiotics in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy].
Twenty cases intravenously received 1 g of cefotetan before the transurethral prostatectomy. High serum and prostatic concentrations were obtained and half-lives were 298 minutes for serum and 250 minutes for the prostate. The mean value of their creatinine clearance was as low as 46.6 ml/min and it was found to be the reason why the serum half-life time was longer than that reported for normal volunteers.
