The pharmacokinetics of ampicillin-sulbactam in elderly subjects (65 to 85 years; group 3, n = 8), compared with those in middle-aged (41 to 64 years; group 2, n = 8) and younger (20 to 40 years; group 1, n = 8) subjects, were investigated. A single 2-g dose of ampicillin combined with 1 g of sulbactam in 60 ml of intravenous solution was administered to each subject over a 30-min period. Blood and urine samples were taken at baseline and serially over an 8.5-h period following the infusion. Ampicillin and sulbactam concentrations were assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography on a reversed-phase C-8 column. The mean levels in serum of both ampicillin and sulbactam were significantly higher for samples from group 3: for ampicillin from 1 through 8.5 h, and for sulbactam for the same time interval except at 5.5 h (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.05). The mean urinary excretion of both ampicillin and sulbactam was lowest, and urinary concentrations were highest in group 3. The areas under the serum drug concentration-time curve, the half-lives, and the maximum concentrations in serum were greatest, while the total clearance was lowest, for group 3 for both ampicillin and sulbactam. These results are consistent with a prolongation of antimicrobial activity of ampicillin-sulbactam in the elderly compared with that in younger subjects.
