title: [Study on administration method of dibekacin].
abstract: The serum concentration of dibekacin (DKB) were determined in 4 healthy adult volunteers after intramuscular injection, intravenous injection and 1-hour or 2-hour intravenous drip infusion of 100 mg of DKB, and 1-hour drip infusion of 50 mg. The mean peak concentration after the 2-hour drip infusion of 100 mg of DKB was a rather low level. While the 1-hour drip infusion of 50 mg of DKB produced a peak concentration of 7.9 micrograms/ml, which is comparable to that after intramuscular injection of 100 mg. In the cases of the 1-hour drip infusion of 100 mg, the peak serum level reached 13.3 micrograms/ml, which is a relatively higher level than that after intramuscular injection of the same dose. Based on the above findings, it is suggested that the 1-hour intravenous drip infusion of DKB in doses of 50 mg to 100 mg be practically applied for therapeutic use.
