Bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of cefotaxime in Muscovy ducks

International Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2016
The pharmacokinetic profile of cefotaxime following a single intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) injection was studied in Muscovy ducks. Cefotaxime was given at a dose rate of 25 mg/kg b.wt. for both routes. After IV injection, the plasma levels of cefotaxime estimated at 0.08 h was 70.87 μg/ml, which declined gradually and cefotaxime was detected
