Concentrations of ofloxacin in ear and nasal tissues.

The results of two kinetic studies examining soft tissue, cartilage and bone after uptake of oral ofloxacin [administered as 200 mg twice daily (study I/nose) or 400 mg once daily (study II/ear)] show that antibiotic concentrations lie within the therapeutic range. Findings demonstrate that 400 mg ofloxacin daily is a compliance-enhancing and effective approach to the treatment of ENT-related infections, in particular those caused by problem organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
