Ophthalmic antibiotic therapy in large animals is often used empirically because of the lack of pharmacokinetics studies. The purpose of the study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of topical tobramycin 0.3% ophthalmic solution in the tears of normal horses using an automated immunoassay analysis.
The mean tobramycin concentrations in the tears at 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 6 hours after administration were 759 (±414), 489 (±237), 346 (±227), 147 (±264), 27.6 (±28.4), 14.8 (±66.6), 6.7 (±18.6), and 23.4 (±73.4) mg/L. Mean tobramycin concentration was maintained above the MIC90 for commonly isolated bacteria for 68.5 min.
A single dose of topical tobramycin resulted in therapeutic concentrations of tobramycin in the tears for 1 h after administration. Therapeutic levels of tobramycin remained in equine tears 6 times longer than was reported in rabbit tears.
由于缺乏药代动力学研究,大型动物的眼科抗生素治疗通常是经验性的。本研究的目的是使用自动免疫分析来确定正常马中 0.3%妥布霉素滴眼液在泪液中的药代动力学。
滴药后 5、10、15、30 分钟和 1、2、4、6 小时,妥布霉素在泪液中的平均浓度分别为 759(±414)、489(±237)、346(±227)、147(±264)、27.6(±28.4)、14.8(±66.6)、6.7(±18.6)和 23.4(±73.4)mg/L。妥布霉素的平均浓度维持在 MIC90 以上,这是常见分离细菌的浓度,持续 68.5 分钟。
单次局部滴用妥布霉素后,1 小时内泪液中妥布霉素的浓度达到治疗水平。妥布霉素在马的泪液中保持治疗水平的时间比在兔泪液中报道的时间长 6 倍。
