TWO factors determine the efficacy of oral antibiotics:
[1] bioavailability
[2] the highest dose you can give orally without provoking GI intolerance
exposure = (dose)(bioavailability)
#EMIMCC
I think they mean oral cipro can maintain exposure thanks to higher doses than IV.
But oral BLs usually mean lower total doses than their IV equivalents (cefazolin 2g/8h, amox/clav 1g/200mg/8h…).
I had a slide on this from a previous ESCMID Global! 😉

There is an important pharmacological aspect of this drug which is not (in my view) getting as much attention as it deserves.
GLP-1 is a modified 30 amino acid peptide! Yet it is orally active.

"Bioavailability" basically refers to how much work your body has to do to absorb a nutrient
Proteins are long chains/strings of amino acids, all twisted around
Our bodies have to cut them into smaller pieces (e.g. individual amino acids) to absorb them
