Appropriate nitroxoline dosage regimen design
Abstract:
Clinically used dosage regimen of nitroxoline, three times 100 mg daily, was proved to be inappropriate because the successfulness of medical treatment was rarely sufficient. Nitroxoline, used as urinary antiseptic, exhibits its antibacterial activity in concentrations higher than 6 mg/l, as demonstrated in many "in vitro" experiments. This work deals with the most appropriate nitroxoline dosage form as well as with the optimal dosage regimen design. The data were obtained by the aid of the suitable pharmacokinetic model and multiple dosing simulation on analog-hybrid computer EAI 580. From the several studied alternatives two usable dosage forms with the necessary dose and corresponding dosage interval were selected.
