First and second generation cephalosporins.
Data on tissue levels of drugs are important, for they provide us with information on concentrations that can be achieved at the site of an infection. Yet many questions remain unanswered in this area such as whether it is better to achieve high levels in tissue rapidly as with bolus administration of a drug, or whether it is preferable to maintain levels of drug at lower but more prolonged levels, as with constant infusion administration of a drug. The goal in the future will be to correlate pharmacologic principles with the efficiency of various dosing programs and tissue levels in the clinical setting.
