Prescribing-label excerpts
Secnidazole
Reference for: Secnidazole. Source presentation: granule. Source route: oral.
Mechanism of action
SOLOSEC is a nitroimidazole antimicrobial drug [see Microbiology (12.4)].
Pharmacokinetics
A single oral dose of 2 g of SOLOSEC in healthy adult female subjects, following an overnight fast and admixed with (4 oz) of applesauce, resulted in a mean (SD) secnidazole peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 45.4 (7.64) mcg/mL and mean (SD) systemic exposure (AUC0-inf) of 1331.6 (230.16) mcg∙hr/mL. Median (range) time to peak concentration (Tmax) was 4.0 (3.0-4.0) hours. Following administration of the 2 g dose, mean secnidazole plasma concentrations decreased to 22.1 mcg/mL at 24 hours, 9.2 mcg/mL at 48 hours, 3.8 mcg/mL at 72 hours, and 1.4 mcg/mL at 96 hours.
Distribution — The apparent volume of distribution of secnidazole is approximately 42 L. The plasma protein binding of secnidazole is <5%.
Elimination — The total body clearance of secnidazole is approximately 25 mL/min. The renal clearance of secnidazole is approximately 3.9 mL/min.
The plasma elimination half-life for secnidazole is approximately 17 hours.
