Influence of food on absorption of erythromycin ethyl succinate. 1980

P J Thompson, and K R Burgess, and G E Marlin

Erythromycin plasma concentrations were determined in 18 subjects after a single dose (800 mg) of a new formulation of erythromycin ethyl succinate taken immediately before, immediately after, and 1 h after food. Adequate absorption occurred with all treatments, although bioavailability was best when the drug was taken before food. Absorption was delayed by food, with the highest and earliest peak plasma erythromycin levels occurring under fasting conditions.

D004917 Erythromycin A bacteriostatic antibiotic macrolide produced by Streptomyces erythreus. Erythromycin A is considered its major active component. In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits. This binding process inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with translocation of amino acids during translation and assembly of proteins.

D015643 Erythromycin Ethylsuccinate A macrolide antibiotic, produced by Streptomyces erythreus. This compound is an ester of erythromycin base and succinic acid. It acts primarily as a bacteriostatic agent. In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits. This binding process inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with translocation of amino acids during translation and assembly of proteins.
