[Experimental and clinical studies of an ampicillin suppository (KS-R1) in pediatrics].
Pharmacokinetic and clinical studies of ampicillin suppository (KS-R1) was performed in children. The results were as follows. Peak serum level of ampicillin (ABPC) after single administration of KS-R1 contains 125 mg or 250 mg of ABPC in potency was 6.03 micrograms/ml after 15 minutes and 5.78 micrograms/ml after 30 minutes, respectively. The half-life was 30.4 minutes and 30.9 minutes, respectively. Urinary excretion rate was 34.2-70.1% within 6 hours. A clinical study of KS-R1 was performed in 40 patients including purulent tonsillitis (10 cases), pharyngitis (9 cases), bronchitis (6 cases), bronchopneumonia (2 cases), scarlet fever (8 cases), otitis media (1 case) and urinary tract infection (4 cases).
