Pharmacokinetics. Absorption

After intake пефлоксацин it is quickly absorbed from a GIT. After a single dose in 400 mg of a pefloksatsin in 20 min. 90% of a dose are absorbed, at this Cmax it is reached in 90-120 min. and makes 4 mkg/ml. After repeated introduction of Cmax in a blood plasma - 10 mkg/ml, concentration in a mucous membrane of bronchial tubes - 5 mkg/ml; a ratio between concentration in a mucous membrane and in blood - 100%.

Later in/in introductions of Cmax it is reached within 60 min.

Distribution

Linkng with proteins of plasma makes 25-30%. Vd - 1.5-1.8 l/kg. Pefloksatsin well gets into fabrics and liquids of an organism (a bronchial secret, lungs, a prostate gland, cerebrospinal fluid, peritoneal liquid, a bone tissue, heart, a phlegm, urine, bile). Concentration in the listed above liquids and fabrics of concentration in a blood plasma.

Concentration in cerebrospinal fluid after triple reception in a dose of 400 mg - 4.5 mkg/ml, at increase in a dose up to 800 mg - 9.8 mkg/ml; a ratio between concentration in plasma and liquid - 89%. Concentration in other bodies and fabrics in 12 h after the last reception: a thyroid gland - 11.4 mkg/g, sialadens - 2.2 mkg/g, skin - 7.6 mkg/g, almonds - 9 mkg/g, muscles - 5.6 mkg/g.

Metabolism

It is metabolized in a liver by methylation to a dimetilpefloksatsin (has considerable antibacterial activity), is oxidized to N-oxide and conjugates with glucuronic acid with formation of a pefloksatsina-glucuronide.

Removal

T1/2 after intake makes about 8-10 h, at repeated introduction - 12-13 h; T1/2 in/in introductions of a single dose is later 7.2-13 h, at repeated introduction - 14-15 h. It is removed with urine (60%) and with a stake in not changed look, partially - in the form of metabolites. The maintenance of not changed pefloksatsin in urine in 1-2 h after reception – 25 mkg/ml, in 12-24 h –15 mkg/ml. Not changed пефлоксацин and its metabolites are found in urine during 84 h after the last administration of drug. Coefficient of extraction of a pefloksatsin at a hemodialysis – 23%.

Indications to use:

Treatment of the infectious and inflammatory diseases caused by microorganisms, sensitive to drug:

— infections of kidneys and urinary tract;

— GIT infections (including salmonellosis, typhoid);

— infections of a gall bladder and biliary tract (including cholecystitis, cholangitis, empyema of a gall bladder);

— infections of an abdominal cavity (including intraabdominal abscesses, peritonitis);

— infections of bodies of a small pelvis (including adnexitis, prostatitis);

— infections of bones and joints (including osteomyelitis);

— infections of skin and soft tissues;

— infections of lower parts of respiratory tracts;

— infections of ENT organs (including middle ear, adnexal bosoms of a nose, throat and throat);

— infections of eyes;

— sepsis, septicaemia;

— bacterial endocarditis;

— encephalomeningitis;

— infections of skin and soft tissues;

— gonorrhea;

— clamidiosis;

— prostatitis;

— epididymite;

— venereal ulcer;

— surgical and intrahospital infections;

— prevention of infectious complications after surgical interventions.

Route of administration and doses:

Inside, on an empty stomach, doses are selected individually, depending on localization and weight of a course of an infection, and also sensitivity of microorganisms. At uncomplicated infections - on 0,4 g 2 times a day, an average daily dose - 0,8 g in 2 receptions. Swallow of tablets, without chewing, and wash down with a large amount of water. Correction of the mode of dosing is required from patients with an abnormal liver function: at insignificant disturbances drug appoint 0,4 g/days in a dose; at more expressed disturbances - every the 36th hour; at heavy pathology of a liver the interval between introductions is extended to 2 days. A course of treatment - no more than 30 days. To patients with renal failures (at clearance of creatinine it is lower than 20 ml/min.) the single dose has to make 50% of an average dose - at frequency rate of appointment 2 times a day, or the full single dose is entered 1 time a day. To elderly people the dose of drug is reduced approximately on 1/3.

Features of use:

At multi-infections, perforative processes in an abdominal cavity, at infections of bodies of a small pelvis of Pefloksatsin-AKOS combine with drugs, active concerning anaerobe bacterias (metronidazole, clindamycin).

During treatment patients have to receive a large amount of liquid for prevention of a crystalluria.

Owing to a possible photosensitization during treatment of Pefloksatsinom-AKOS it is necessary to avoid Uv-radiation.

At a serious illness of a liver and kidneys correction of the mode of dosing is required.

At emergence in time or after treatment of Pefloksatsinom-AKOS of heavy and long diarrhea it is necessary to exclude pseudomembranous colitis (at the same time immediate drug withdrawal and purpose of the corresponding therapy is required).

Influence on ability to driving of motor transport and control of mechanisms

At use of drug it is necessary to abstain from the occupations potentially dangerous types of activity demanding the increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Side effects:

From TsNS: depression, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, increased fatigue, increase in convulsive activity, concern, excitement, tremor; seldom - spasms.

From the alimentary system: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pains, anorexia, meteorism, pseudomembranous colitis, tranzitorny increase in activity of hepatic transaminases, cholestatic jaundice, hepatitis, liver necrosis.

From an urinary system: crystalluria; seldom - a glomerulonephritis, a dysuria.

From system of a hemopoiesis: a leukopenia, a neutropenia, thrombocytopenia (at doses of 1.6 g/), an agranulocytosis, an eosinophilia.

Allergic reactions: skin rash, skin itch, small tortoiseshell, dermahemia, photosensitization; seldom - a Quincke's edema, a bronchospasm, an arthralgia.

Others: tachycardia, mialgiya, tendinitis, rupture of sinews, candidiasis.

Local reactions: phlebitis.

Interaction with other medicines:

Simultaneous use of Pefloksatsina-AKOS and beta лактамных antibiotics prevents development of resistance at treatment of a staphylococcal infection

At simultaneous use of Pefloksatsina-AKOS with aminoglycosides, piperatsilliny, azlotsilliny, the ceftazidime notes a synergism of antibacterial action (including concerning a pyocyanic stick).

At simultaneous use of Pefloksatsina-AKOS and indirect anticoagulants decrease in a prothrombin ratio is noted (therefore in need of purpose of this combination it is necessary to control a pattern of peripheral blood).

Pharmacokinetic interaction

Absorption of a pefloksatsin is slowed down at a concomitant use with the antacids containing aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide.

The concomitant use of a pefloksatsin and Cimetidinum leads to decrease in the general clearance and increase in an elimination half-life of a pefloksatsin, but does not change the volume of distribution and renal clearance.

Pefloksatsin-AKOS slows down metabolism of theophylline in a liver that leads to increase in concentration of theophylline in plasma and in TsNS (therefore in need of purpose of this combination it is necessary to reduce a theophylline dose).

The drugs blocking canalicular secretion slow down removal of a pefloksatsin.

Pharmaceutical interaction

Pefloksatsin it is impossible to mix with the solutions containing chlorine ions in order to avoid loss of a deposit.

It is incompatible with heparin.
