Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist in the central nervous system, reducing sympathetic outflow from the brainstem, leading to decreased peripheral vascular resistance and heart rate.
TINDAL (trimethoprim) inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), preventing the reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate, thereby inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis.
Adults: IM/SC 10 mg every 4 hours as needed, maximum 40 mg/day; IV 5 mg over 1 minute, may repeat in 20-30 minutes, maximum 10 mg.
TINDAL (ticarcillin disodium + clavulanate potassium) 3.1 g (ticarcillin 3 g + clavulanic acid 0.1 g) IV every 4-6 hours. Maximum dose: 18 g ticarcillin/0.6 g clavulanic acid per day.

5-7 hours; prolonged to 10-15 hours in renal impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12-15 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged in renal impairment.
Primarily renal (60-70% unchanged), 20-30% biliary/fecal as metabolites.
Primarily renal excretion of unchanged drug (70-80%) and hepatic metabolism (20-30%).
