Ciprofloxacin on Burned Patients

October 26, 2009 updated by: Bayer

A Population Pharmacokinetics Study of Plasma Levels of Ciprofloxacin Following a Regimen of Repeated Dose I.V. Administration (400 mg TID) on Burn Patients

This was a non randomised, multi center, italian study performed in burn patients receiving an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) in order to treat an active infection. The aim of the study was to validate a pharmacokinetics model useful to verify if a standard dose regimen of ciprofloxacin, given to patients with a compromised metabolism, is a correct dose or instead is over or under dosed.
