Population pharmacokinetics and cerebrospinal fluid penetration of fluconazole in adults with cryptococcal meningitis

Abstract:

Robust population pharmacokinetic (PK) data for fluconazole are scarce. The variability of fluconazole penetration into the CNS is not known. A fluconazole PK study was conducted in 43 patients receiving oral fluconazole (usually 800 mg q24h) in combination with amphotericin B deoxycholate (1 mg/kg q24h) for cryptococcal meningitis (CM). A 4-compartment PK model was developed and Monte Carlo simulations performed for a range of fluconazole dosages. A meta-analysis of trials reporting outcomes...
