Disposition kinetics and dosage of cephaloridine in calves.
The disposition kinetics and dosage regimen of cephaloridine were investigated in calves following a single intravenous dose of 10 mg.kg-1. The distribution half-life and elimination half-life were 0.16 +/- 0.02 and 1.96 +/- 0.16 h, respectively. The apparent volume of distribution was 0.64 +/- 0.06 l.kg-1 and total body clearance which represents the sum of all clearance processes, was 225.2 +/- 15.1 ml.kg-1.h-1. Based on kinetic parameters, a satisfactory intravenous dosage regimen of cephaloridine in calves would be 11.0 mg.kg-1 repeated every 8 h.
