title: Pharmacokinetics and milk penetration of moxifloxacin after intramuscular administration to lactating goats.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin was studied following intramuscular administration of 5mg/kg to healthy lactating goats (n=6). Moxifloxacin concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography assay with fluorescence detection. The moxifloxacin plasma concentration versus time data could best be described by a one-compartment model. The plasma moxifloxacin clearance (Cl) was mean standard deviation (+/-SD) 0.49+/-0.14 L/h kg. The apparent volume of distribution (V(z)) was 0.83+/-0.20 L/kg. The terminal half-life (t(1/2 lambda z)) was 1.31+/-0.64 h. Moxifloxacin penetration from blood to milk was rapid and the high AUC(milk)/AUC(plasma) and C(max-milk)/C(max-plasma) ratios reached indicated a good penetration of moxifloxacin into the milk.
