Dexamethasone phosphate is widely used for intratympanic therapy in humans. We assessed the pharmacokinetics of dexamethasone entry into perilymph when administered as a dexamethasone phosphate solution or as a micronized dexamethasone suspension, with and without inclusion of poloxamer gel in the medium. After a 1-h application to guinea pigs, 10 independent samples of perilymph were collected from the lateral semicircular canal of each animal, allowing entry at the round window and stapes to be independently assessed. Both forms of dexamethasone entered the perilymph predominantly at the round window (73%), with a lower proportion entering at the stapes (22%). When normalized by applied concentration, dexamethasone phosphate was found to enter perilymph far more slowly than dexamethasone...
