The pharmacokinetics of trimethoprim (TMP) were investigated in normal and febrile rabbits. The half-life of TMP in rabbits is about 40 minutes and no differences were found between the half-life in normal and febrile rabbits. A significantly greater volume of distribution of TMP, however, was found in the febrile rabbits. Analysis according to the two-compartment model showed that the differences are due to a change in the distribution of TMP towards the peripheral compartments.
