RESUMO
The pharmacokinetics and dose proportionality of ceftibuten were evaluated in healthy male volunteers receiving single oral doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg of ceftibuten. The drug was absorbed with similar times to the maximum concentration of drug in plasma for all three doses. Concentrations of ceftibuten in plasma increased with increasing dose. Analysis of variance was carried out on the dose-adjusted values for the maximum concentration of drug in plasma and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve; the results indicated that the concentrations in plasma after the 200- and 400-mg doses were dose proportional, and after the 800-mg of dose they were less than dose proportional. The elimination half-life from plasma ranged from 2.0 to 2.3 h and was independent of dose. The total excretion of unchanged ceftibuten in urine accounted for 53 to 68% of the dose, and the renal clearance was estimated to be 53 to 61 ml/min after all doses. The amount of ceftibuten-trans, the major in vitro and in vivo conversion product of ceftibuten, was low in both plasma and urine.
