Antimicrobial Bioavailability
Ciprofloxacin 70%
Levofloxacin 99%
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 100%
Amoxicillin 70-80%
Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 70-80%
Cephalexin 95%
Cefadroxil 90%
Cefpodoxime 46%
Cefdinir 25%
Cefixime 40-50%
  • Note that oral dosing for many medications (e.g. β-lactams) is much lower for oral than for IV formulations, so even a high bioavailability may not guarantee that target levels in serum are reached

Excellent Bioavailability (>90%)

Good Bioavailability (60-90%)
