Cephapirin (20 mg/kg of body weight, IV) was administered before and after 3 doses of probenecid (25, 50, or 75 mg/kg, intragastrically, at 12-hour intervals) to 2 mares. Clearance and apparent volume of distribution, based on area under the curve, were negatively correlated with probenecid dose. Clearance of cephapirin was decreased by approximately 50% by administration of 50 mg of probenecid/kg. Serum, synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, CSF, urinary and endometrial concentrations of cephapirin were determined after 5 doses of cephapirin (20 mg/kg, IM, at 12-hour intervals) without and with concurrently administered probenecid (50 mg/kg, intragastrically) to 6 mares, including the 2 mares given cephapirin, IV. Highest mean serum cephapirin concentrations were 16.1 +/- 2.16 micrograms/ml at 0.5 hour after the 5th cephapirin dose [postinjection (initial) hour (PIH) 48.5] in mares not given probenecid and 23.7 +/- 1.30 micrograms/ml at 1.5 hours after the 5th cephapirin dose (PIH 49.5) in mares given probenecid. Mean peak peritoneal fluid and synovial fluid cephapirin concentrations were 6.2 +/- 0.57 micrograms/ml and 6.6 +/- 0.58 micrograms/ml, respectively, without probenecid administration and 12.3 +/- 0.46 micrograms/ml and 10 +/- 0.78 micrograms/ml, respectively, with concurrent probenecid administration. Mean trough cephapirin concentrations for peritoneal and synovial fluids in mares given probenecid were 2 to 3 times higher than trough concentrations in mares not given probenecid. Overall mean cephapirin concentrations were significantly higher for serum, peritoneal fluid, synovial fluid, and endometrium when probenecid was administered concurrently with cephapirin (P less than 0.01). Cephapirin was not detected in CSF samples. Overall mean urinary cephapirin concentrations (2.47 mg/ml without concurrent probenecid administration and 3.06 mg/ml with concurrent probenecid) were not significantly different (P greater than 0.05). Mean trough serum probenecid concentration was 61.2 +/- 5.28 micrograms/ml. Highest serum probenecid concentration was 148.8 +/- 5.97 micrograms/ml, 2 hours after the 5th cephapirin dose (PIH 50). Probenecid administration increased serum, synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, and endometrial concentrations of cephapirin in mares.
