Pharmacokinetic properties

Plasma concentrations of besifloxacin were measured in adult patients with suspected bacterial conjunctivitis who received besifloxacin bilaterally three times a day (16 doses total).

The average elimination half-life of besifloxacin in plasma following multiple dosing was estimated to be 7 hours.
