[Pharmacokinetic studies of flomoxef in the neonatal field].

Flomoxef (FMOX), a new broad spectrum oxacephem antibiotic, was studied in the neonatal field and the pharmacokinetic results obtained are summarized below. 1. Serum concentrations of FMOX after dosages of 20 mg/kg via 1 hour drip infusion were 21.8 +/- 7.59 micrograms/ml, 15.4 +/- 4.35 micrograms/ml, 4.3 +/- 2.88 micrograms/ml at 1, 2 and 5 hours after administration, respectively, and T 2/1 (beta)'s averaged 2.08 +/- 1.01 hours. 2. Urinary excretion rates were 53.38 +/- 16.94% in the first 7 hours after administration.
