The Mechanism of Excretion of Drugs into Milk from Untreated Glands after Intramammary Application

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 13, pages 275–277 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

It is often maintained that after intramammary application of penicillin the excretion of penicillin via the untreated glands takes place by direct diffusion from treated to untreated glands (vide Hawkins et al. 1962, Jacobs & Pennings 1969, Rollins et al. 1970). Blobel (1960) mentions the possibilities of both direct diffusion from gland to gland and the excretion via the blood.
