Dialyzability of cefotaxime and mecillinam.
The dialyzability of cefotaxime and mecillinam was studied in 20 patients with end-stage renal failure maintained on regular hemodialysis in the Ain Shams Dialysis Unit. Cefotaxime was found to be a dialyzable antibiotic with a hemodialysis clearance rate of 60.3 +/- 10.4 ml/min. Mecillinam was found to be more dialyzable, with a clearance rate of 118.8 +/- 14.4 ml/min.
