1 Lincomycin (600 mg) was given 6 h preoperatively by intramuscular injection, as an intravenous infusion over 30 min and for 72 h postoperatively in twelve patients having total hip replacement. 2 The plasma, bone, hip capsule, synovial and drain fluid concentrations of lincomycin were almost always above the M.I.C. of lincomycin against penicillinase producing Staphylococcus aureus. 3 There was a good correlation between the estimated concentrations of lincomycin in bone by the grinding and agitation methods of analysis. 4 Two patients developed pseudomembranous colitis after parenteral lincomycin.
I The plasma concentration/time curves of ampicillin and mecillinam in normal subjects were measured after oral administration of ampicillin (500 mg) and pivmecillinam (400 and 600 mg). 2 Similar plasma concentration/time curves of ampicillin and mecillinam in the starved normal subjects followed oral administration of ampicillin (500 mg) and pivmecillinam (600 mg). 3 The plasma concentration/time curve of mecillinam was measured in the same normal subjects after oral administration of pivmecillinam (400 mg) with a reproducible standardized Lundh test meal. 4 There was no statistically significant difference in the plasma concentration/time curve of mecillinam after pivmecillinam /400 mg) and the meal compared with the plasma concentration/time curve after oral pivmecillinam (400 mg) was given to the same subjects when starved. After administration of pivmecillinam (400 mg) with meal, Tasc was significantly delayed beyond the value obtained when the subjects were starved. S
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
