[Pharmacodynamics of cephaloridine and cephalothin combined with sulfalene in rabbits].

Abstract

The combined use of cephaloridin and cephalothin with sulfalen resulted in decreased binding of the cephalosporins by serum proteins and decreased rate of drug elimination in rabbits. It might be suggested that these two processes were interrelated. The decreased binding of the antibiotics by proteins in rabbits promoted an increase in the volume distribution of the drugs at the expense of a rise in the level of their penetration from the blood into the peripheral tissues.
