Concentration of Cefamandole in Serum Interstitial Fluid, Bile, and Urine

N G Waterman *, H U Eickenberg *, L Scharfenberger *
PMCID: PMC429822  PMID: 984808

Abstract

Cefamandole readily diffuses from the serum into soft tissue interstitial fluid. The rate of diffusion differs little from that of cephalothin. The concentrations of antibiotic were greater in bile and urine during the entire period of study than is necessary to kill susceptible pathogenic bacteria present in these fluids.
