Erythromycin, an antibiotic used in the treatment of infectious diseases, produces gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea. The mechanisms by which erythromycin produces these effects are not known. However, erythromycin has been shown to increase gastrointestinal motor activity and to inhibit intestinal neutral amino acid absorption. Both effects could contribute to the gastrointestinal side effects observed. Because the intestinal systems of amino acid and sugar transport present… CONTINUE READING
