Abstract
To study the feasibility of employing cefodizime (CDZM) in the field of oral surgery, a pharmacokinetic analysis was performed for CDZM concentrations in the oral tissues after intravenous injection of 1g CDZM in 26 patients.
The following results were obtained:
1) The half-life of CDZM in serum was calculated to be 2.64 hours.
2) The peak concentrations of CDZM were 13.03 μg/g in the gum, 4.84 μg/g in the bone and 17.06 μg/g in the cyst wall. The AUC of CDZM in oral tissue to that in serum was 12.53% in the gum, 3.26% in the bone, and 8.23% in the cyst wall.
