Popis: Drug concentrations in serum, synovial fluid and tissue cage fluid (TCF) in calves were measured after single i.m. doses of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC), procaine penicillin G (PPG) and potassium penicillin G (KPG) and single i.v. doses of sulphadimidine (SDM) and OTC. For all drugs, concentration-time curves in serum and synovial fluid were not identical but they had similar profiles, with peak levels occurring at about the same time. Concurrent concentrations were lower in synovial fluid than in serum. For each drug, elimination half-lives from synovial fluid and from serum were similar, except for penicillin G after KPG administration which had a significantly longer half-life from synovial fluid than from serum (P less than 0.05). Of the two penicillin G preparations, PPG gave a significantly higher synovial fluid:serum area under curve (AUC) ratio than did KPG; 0.76 +/- 0.10 and 0.54 +/- 0.12, respectively (P less than 0.05). For OTC, the synovial fluid:serum AUC-ratio was 0.33 +/- 0.12 after i.m. and 0.34 +/- 0.08 after i.v. administration. Drug concentration-time curves of TCF had different profiles compared with serum, with relatively low and delayed peak levels and slow elimination from TCF. TCF:serum AUC-ratios did not differ significantly for i.m. and i.v. administration of OTC; 0.10 +/- 0.10 and 0.19 +/- 0.03 respectively (P greater than 0.05). Potassium penicillin G (KPG), however, gave a significantly higher TCF:serum AUC-ratio than PPG; 0.55 +/- 0.21 and 0.19 +/- 0.07, respectively (P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
