[The pharmacokinetics of common chemotherapeutic drugs used in veterinary medicine].

The present paper summarizes the pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutic agents commonly used in controlling bacterial disease in animals. Data on absorption, distribution and excretion of chemotherapeutic agents are given in form of tables. It is explained that pharmacokinetic parameters of antimicrobial chemotherapy among others are influenced by the drug's pharmaceutical formulation, its route of administration, its biotransformation and also by the age of the patients. There are given hints for handling the drug in order to achieve optimal effects.
