Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1995 Aug;39(8):1899-901. doi: 10.1128/AAC.39.8.1899.

Abstract

The levels of flurithromycin in gynecological tissue in 20 female patients were studied after preoperative administration. The tissue flurithromycin levels obtained were comparable to those obtained in serum at 3 and 4 h but were frequently higher than those in serum at 6 and 12 h. Flurithromycin reached the highest concentrations in ovary at 4 h and in endometrium at 6 h.
