The authors applied a solution of gentamycin at a concentration of 40 mg/ml to 15 dogs at a dosage of 5 mg/kg for each through three routes of administration, ie, the intravenous, intramuscular and iutranasal. The serum levels of gentamyciu from 0 to 180 minutes after receiving the drug were determined with thin-layer scanning chromatographic method. It was found that if the bioavailability of the intravenous route was considered as 100%, the bioavailability of the intranasal route was 80.5%,and that of the intramuscular route was 42％. After giving drops of the drug into nasal cavity in above-mentioned dosage,the serum drug level reached a peak in 10 to 30 min ranging in 3.7 to 6.6 μg/ml. The half-life period of the drug given through this route was about three hours, indicating that the na sal mucosa is apt to be penetrated by gentamycin and allows the drug to be abso展开更多
