title: [Norfloxacin concentration in human prostatic tissue after 3 days administration].
abstract: The penetration of norfloxacin into prostatic tissue was evaluated on 36 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Norfloxacin was administered orally in a dose of 200 mg three times daily for 3 days preoperatively, blood samples were taken simultaneously at the time of tissue sampling. The patients were divided into 2 groups, groups 1 and 2. In group 1, tissue sampling was done after about 17 hours of final administration of the drug. The mean concentration of norfloxacin in prostatic tissue was 0.38 +/- 0.18 micrograms/g and 0.18 +/- 0.09 micrograms/ml in serum. In group 2, sampling was done after 5.5 hours of final administration. The mean concentration of norfloxacin in prostatic tissue was 0.89 +/- 0.32 micrograms/g and 0.49 +/- 0.25 micrograms/ml in serum.
