When the drug is administered intramuscularly, TCmax in plasma is observed after 20-30 minutes. Binding to plasma proteins occurs by 60%. The antibiotic has good penetration into tissues, biological fluids and organs of the human body, with the exception of cerebrospinal fluid , prostate gland and eye tissues, and passes through the BBB . Excretion is carried out in unchanged form by the kidneys. T1/2 fluctuates between 30-60 minutes, with kidney pathologies it can increase to 4-10 hours or even more.
