A 24-year-old female with Hodgkin's disease and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia was tested with trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) tablets. Because treatment failure was feared owing to chronic emesis potentially resulting in incomplete drug absorption, the same TMP/SMX dose was administered by rectal suppositories after the 5th day of oral dosing. The relative fractions (rectal/oral) or the suppository dose absorbed for TMP and SMX were 3.0% and 19.5% respectively. When TMP/SMX treatment is required and the oral route is not practical, the investigational i.v. preparation should be obtained.
一名患有霍奇金病和卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎的24岁女性接受了甲氧苄啶/磺胺甲恶唑(TMP/SMX)片剂治疗。由于担心因慢性呕吐可能导致药物吸收不完全而治疗失败,在口服给药第5天后通过直肠栓剂给予相同剂量的TMP/SMX。TMP和SMX的直肠吸收相对分数(直肠/口服)或栓剂剂量分别为3.0%和19.5%。当需要TMP/SMX治疗且口服途径不可行时,应获取研究用静脉制剂。
