Intraocular penetration of levofloxacin in rabbit eyes following topical and subconjunctival administration
Objective:To compare the ocular tissue concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters in rabbit’s eyes after topically and subconjunctivally administrated with levofloxacin (LVFX).Methods:The concentrations of LVFX in the cornea
aqueous humor
iris-ciliary body
lens and vitreous at different times were measured by high performance liquid chromatography after 0.3% LVFX were topically and subconjunctivally administrated into rabbits.Results:The penetration of LVFX into the cornea
iris-ciliary body
lens and vitreous after subconjunctival injection was significantly higher than that of topically applied one( P <0.01 or P <0.05).Conclusion:Subconjunctival LVFX could be more effective than topical administration in the treatment of severe eye infection.
