Abstract

The clinical use of once daily aminoglycoside (ODA) dosing has been increased because of the potential therapeutic advantages of this dosing regimen. To evaluate the optimal sampling times of ODA dosing method in a clinical setting, the study was prospectively conducted in a total of 28 patients with UTI. All of the patients were intravenously administered gentamicin at a dose of 7 mg/kg over 60 minutes and randomly divided into two groups. Blood was collected at 0, 2, and 6 hours in Group A and at 1, 2, and 6 hours in Group B after the end of 1-hour infusion. The pharmacokinetic parameters (Ke, Vd and Cmax) obtained using the 0, 6 hour levels and 2, 6 hour levels in Group A were statistically different while those of 1, 6 hour levels and 2, 6 hour levels in Group B were similar. This finding indicated that the distributional phase of ODA is completed within 1 hour following the end of the I-hour infusion. If we are allowed to collect only two blood samples in ODA considering patients comfort and the analytical cost of drug, the first one should be drawn after 1 hour following the end of infusion to obtain adequate pharmacokinetic information.
