Abstract:The biliary disposition of ciprofloxacin was studied in 12 recently cholecystectomised patients during 24 hours following a single oral administration of 500 mg of the drug. Ciprofloxacin was measured in serum, urine, bile and faeces by both high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and bioassay. The results were found to be comparable for the concentrations in serum (mean Cmax = 0.97 +/- 0.17 microgram/ml by HPLC and 1.08 +/- 0.19 microgram/ml by bioassay) and in urine (0.6 h: 267 +/- 74 micrograms/ml and… Show more
“…Using HPLC it is possible to recover more than twice as much total CI from human feces as active CI recovered by bioassay (Brogard et al, 1985;Jehl et al, 1987). In pigs (Wiuff et al, 2002) the bioassay recovered about half the total.…”
