title: [Pharmacokinetics of a cefotetan and an aminoglycoside preparation in combined administration. 2. Absorption and exercise of cefotetan and sisomicin in dogs when the two are given together].
abstract: Cefotetan (20 mg/kg i.v.) and sisomicin (10 mg/kg i.m.) were administered alone or in combination to Beagle dogs. The mean plasma concentrations of cefotetan administered in combination with sisomicin at the above dosages were 98.0 microgram/ml at 5 minutes, 45.7 microgram/ml at 30 minutes and 3.46 microgram/ml at 4 hours. These plasma concentrations of cefotetan were similar to those of cefotetan administered alone to the corresponding dogs. The calculated plasma half-lives (T 1/2 beta) of cefotetan were 53.9 minutes in combination with sisomicin and 57.4 minutes alone. The excretion of cefotetan in dog urine were 52.4% and 50.2% of the dose after administration in combination with sisomicin and alone, respectively, during 24 hours. The results indicate that there were no significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of cefotetan alone or in combination with sisomicin in dogs. The maximum concentrations of sisomicin in dogs administered in combination with cefotetan were 20.2 microgram/ml at 30 minutes after dosing. The concentrations of 11.7 microgram/ml at 2 hours and 3.13 microgram/ml at 4 hours of administration were maintained in plasma. The calculated plasma half-lives of sisomicin were 68.8 minutes in combination with cefotetan and 86.4 minutes alone. The urinary rcoveries of sisomicin were 79.3% and 76.1% in combination with cefotetan and alone, respectively, during 24 hours. There were no significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of sisomicin alone and in combination with cefotetan in dogs.
