Ciprofloxacin is routinely prescribed to treat a variety of infections, including those of the urinary tract. To achieve optimum therapeutic benefits of the drug, all of the factors which influence its pharmacokinetics and effectiveness need to be determined. This study investigated the urinary excretion kinetics of ciprofloxacin upon oral administration of a single dose of 250 mg at 1000 or 2200 h in 12 healthy human subjects in a crossover design. The urine samples were analyzed for unchanged ciprofloxacin by a sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method. A significant decrease in the rate and extent of ciprofloxacin excretion following 2200 h (109.59 versus 53.8 mg [P < 0.05]) administration was observed. This result may be due to circadian changes in the factors affecting renal excretion and also probably metabolism of ciprofloxacin.

1. We studied the effect of oral administration of acetylsalicylic acid (1200 mg/day for 3 days) on the urinary excretion of 6-ketoprostaglandin F1α in normal human subjects as an index of prostacyclin production in vivo. 2. The concentrations and excretion rate in urine fell to 45% of pretreatment levels in 3 days, but returned to pretreatment values after 7 days. 3. These results suggest that production of prostacyclin in vivo is only partially inhibited by high doses of aspirin and that there are sites of production of prostacyclin which are protected from inhibition by aspirin and which contribute to urinary 6-ketoprostaglandin F1α. The measurement of 6-ketoprostaglandin F1α in urine may therefore be of only limited value as an index of the metabolism of vascular tissue in vivo.

ABSTRACT The effect of graded doses (5, 10 and 25 mg/d of methandrostenolone and of 25 mg/d of testosterone propionate were compared in each of three metabolically stable adult subjects. Five mg/d of methandrostenolone induced nitrogen and calcium retention. The effects observed with larger doses of methandrostenolone (10 and 25 mg/d) were not quantitatively different from those with 5 mg/d. The nitrogen and calcium retention obtained with the daily dose of 5 mg of methandrostenolone was as great or greater than that induced by testosterone propionate (25 mg/d). Methandrostenolone induced creatinuria but had no effect on sodium and chloride balances and urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids.
