β¦ Synopsis
Objective:
Assuming linear kinetics, the mean csf concentrations of an antibacterial in steady state (csscsf) can be estimated, when the area under the concentration-time curve in csf after the first dose is known. for this purpose we propose the function csscsf = auccsf.anticipated dose/dosing interval. applied dose.
Results:
Together with the mic and mbc of the causative pathogen, the estimate is of value in the choice of antibacterial drug and the dosing regimen in central nervous system infections.

Serum and urine kinetics of unchanged tiracizine (T), a new class I antiarrhythmic agent, and three metabolites (Ml, 2, and 3) were assessed in eight healthy extensive metabolizers after a single oral administration of 50 mg tiracizine and during steady state (50 mg b.i.d.). Additionally, tiracizine
