title: [Enoxacin concentration in human prostatic tissue after 3-day administration].
abstract: The penetration of enoxacin into prostatic tissue was examined Thirty-five patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy entered the study. Enoxacin 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 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 enoxacin in prostatic tissue was 1.87 +/- 1.23 micrograms/g and 1.05 +/- 0.458 micrograms/ml in serum. In group 2, sampling was done after 5.5 hours of final administration. The mean concentration of enoxacin in prostatic tissue was 2.51 +/- 0.725 micrograms/g and 1.78 +/- 0.586 micrograms/ml in serum.
