affect the lungs, urinary tract, skin, bones and joints.
This antibiotic also works against traveler's diarrhea and other
bugs that invade the digestive tract.
To
measure the concentration of ciprofloxacin and its
desethylenemetabolite in plasma and cutaneous microdialysates and to
compare ciprofloxacin penetration into cutaneous microdialysates
against theoretically predicted penetration in a peripheral
compartment.
