Pharmacokinetics and biliary concentrations of fleroxacin in cholecystectomized patients.

Patients with biliary tract infections received 800 mg of fleroxacin orally once daily on five consecutive days; cholecystectomy was on day 3. Starting on the day when dose 5 was administered, serial blood and T-drain bile samples were taken for 72 h and urine was collected for 96 h. The mean (+/- the standard deviation) peak concentration in plasma was 8.
