  • Description: <jats:p>&lt;i&gt;Background:&lt;/i&gt; Our objectives were to assess the pharmacokinetic interaction and body fluid penetration of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt; This study was a single-dose open randomized three-way crossover in 15 healthy volunteers receiving 500 mg oral levofloxacin, 500 mg oral ciprofloxacin, or 250 mg levofloxacin and 250 mg ciprofloxacin co-administered. Serum, urine, and body fluid concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and analyzed via population pharmacokinetic modeling. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt; Modeling indicated that ciprofloxacin inhibited the renal reabsorption of levofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin increased the net renal clearance of levofloxacin by 13%, as its estimated affinity for a putative tubular reabsorption transporter was 12-fold higher (Km: 568 µ&lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt;) compared to levofloxacin (Km: 6,830 µ&lt;i&gt;M&lt;/i&gt;). Levofloxacin increased the bioavailability of ciprofloxacin by 12% and achieved significantly (p &lt; 0.05) higher concentrations at 3 h in ejaculate, prostatic, seminal, and vaginal fluid compared to ciprofloxacin. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/i&gt; Modeling suggested that ciprofloxacin inhibited the tubular reabsorption of levofloxacin due to a 12-fold higher affinity for a putative tubular reabsorption transporter compared to levofloxacin. This pharmacokinetic interaction was not clinically relevant.</jats:p>
