title: [Pharmacokinetic study of chloramphenicol in the rabbit].
abstract: Chloramphenicol was administered intravenously and orally at a dose of 50 mg/kg to ten rabbits. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated (rate constant of terminal phase: beta = 0.21 +/- 0.09 1/h, total body clearance: Cl = 22.7 +/- 2.1 ml/min.kg, bioavailability: F = 42.5 +/- 11.9%) and were used to discuss the proposed dosage. However, caecotrophy might occur and increase absorption of chloramphenicol.
