Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the amount of pyridinegenerated from degradation of ceftazidime inicodextrin peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions.Methods: PD solutions that contained 1 and 1.5 gof ceftazidime were stored at 25 °C for 12 hours andthen at 37 °C for 14 hours. An aliquot waswithdrawn at predefined time points and analyzedfor the concentrations of ceftazidime and pyridine.Findings: The amount of pyridine generated was>225% and 400% of its maximum recommendeddaily exposure in the 1- and 1.5-g ceftazidime-PDadmixtures, respectively.Implications: Until these results are confirmed withappropriate in vivo studies, intermittent intraperitonealdosing of ceftazidime admixed with icodextrin shouldbe used with caution and appropriate clinicalmonitoring or a suitable alternative antibiotic shouldbe used.
