A new aminoglycoside antibiotic, fortimicin, was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 200 mg, and the tissue distribution of the drug was investigated with time-course in the uterine fundus, uterine cervix, oviduct, endometrium and ovary.
Patients who required total hysterectomy or uterine appendices resection due to uterine myoma,etc. were studied.
The uterus levels of fortimicin were about 2 mcg/g at 2 hours after intramuscular administration in the uterine fundus and uterine cervix and reduced to trace after 8-9 hours.
