Abstract
In this review article pharmacokinetics of several Aminoglycoside antibiotics and their recommended doses in camel have been reviewed. The maximum and minimum inhibitory concentrations and their role in efficacy and toxicity have been discussed and correlated with that reported in other mammals The longer half-lives of Aminoglycosides in camels compared to other mammals were suggested to be related to the entire elimination of Aminoglycosides by glomerular filtration and the unique water conservation mechanism in camels.
