Pharmacology
Erythromycin belongs to the macrolides group of antibiotics. It exerts a bacteriostatic or bactericidal action based on specific interference with ribosomal protein synthesis within the bacterial cell. THROCIN is mainly used for the treatment of infections caused by penicillinase producing staphylococci. The following micro-organisms are particularly susceptible to Erythromycin. Gram (+)ve : Cocci and bacilli. Gram (-)ve : Neisseria catarhalis, N.meningitis, N.gonorrhoea, Haemophilus influenzae, Brodetella, H. pertussis.Other micro-organisms : Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Bacteroides fragilis, B.oralis, B.melaninogenicus, Fusobacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis, Treponema pallidum.
Contraindications
Recent data from studies of erythromycin reveals that its use in patients who are receiving high dosage of theophylline may be associated with an increase of serum theophylline levels and potential theophylline toxicity. In such cases this dose of theophylline should be reduced.
Side Effects
Known hypersensitivity to Erythromycin.
Pregnancy And Lactation
Allergic reactions are rare and mild although anaphylaxis has occurred. Occasionally there is abdominal discomfort after oral administration, sometimes with nausea and vomiting. This discomfort usually subsides after a few days without it being necessary to reduce the dosage.
