Abstract

Fifteen subjects received a single 400-mg oral dose of enoxacin in the fasting state and after carbohydrate and high-fat meals. The carbohydrate meal delayed the time to peak enoxacin concentration in plasma by an average of 0.92 h. The extent of enoxacin absorption was not altered by food.
