Pharmacological Action

[I] – Instructions for medical use approved by the Pharmacological Committee of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation

A bacteriostatic antibiotic from the macrolide group, it reversibly binds to the 50S subunit of the ribosome in its donor part, which disrupts the formation of peptide bonds between amino acid molecules and blocks the synthesis of microbial proteins (does not affect the synthesis of nucleic acids). When used in high doses, it may exhibit a bactericidal effect.

The spectrum of activity includes gram-positive microorganisms (Staphylococcus spp., both penicillinase-producing and non-producing, including Staphylococcus aureus; Streptococcus spp. (including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes), alpha-hemolytic streptococcus (Viridans group), Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium minutissimum) and gram-negative microorganisms (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Haemophilus influenzae, Bordetella pertussis, Brucella spp., Legionella spp., including Legionella pneumophila) and other microorganisms: Mycoplasma spp. (including Mycoplasma pneumoniae), Chlamydia spp. (including Chlamydia trachomatis), Treponema spp., Rickettsia spp., Entamoeba histolytica, Listeria monocytogenes.

Gram-negative rods are resistant: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as Shigella spp., Salmonella spp. and others. The group of sensitive microorganisms includes those whose growth is inhibited at an antibiotic concentration of less than 0.5 mg/L, moderately sensitive at 1-6 mg/L, and moderately resistant and resistant at 6-8 mg/L.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption is high. Food intake does not affect oral forms of erythromycin as a base, coated with an enteric coating. Cmax is reached after oral administration in 2-4 hours. Plasma protein binding is 70-90%.

Bioavailability is 30-65%. It is distributed unevenly in the body. It accumulates in large quantities in the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The concentration in bile and urine is tens of times higher than the concentration in plasma. It penetrates well into lung tissue, lymph nodes, middle ear exudate, prostate secretion, semen, pleural cavity, ascitic and synovial fluids. In the milk of nursing women, it contains 50% of the concentration in plasma. It penetrates poorly through the blood-brain barrier, into the cerebrospinal fluid (its concentration is 10% of the drug content in plasma). During inflammatory processes in the meninges, their permeability to erythromycin increases somewhat. It penetrates the placental barrier and enters the fetal blood, where its content reaches 5-20% of the content in the maternal plasma.

It is metabolized in the liver (more than 90%), partially with the formation of inactive metabolites. T1/2 is 1.4-2 hours, in anuria – 4-6 hours. Excretion with bile is 20-30% unchanged, by the kidneys (unchanged) after oral administration – 2-5%.

For preoperative bowel preparation to prevent infectious complications – orally, 1 g at 19 hours, 18 hours and 9 hours before the start of surgery (total 3 g).

For prevention of streptococcal infection (in tonsillitis, pharyngitis), adults – 20-50 mg/kg/day, children – 20-30 mg/kg/day, the duration of the course is at least 10 days.

For prevention of septic endocarditis in patients with heart defects – 1 g for adults and 20 mg/kg for children, 1 hour before the therapeutic or diagnostic procedure, then 500 mg for adults and 10 mg/kg for children, repeated after 6 hours.

For whooping cough – 40-50 mg/kg/day for 5-14 days. For pneumonia in children – 50 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses, for at least 3 weeks. For urogenital infections during pregnancy – 500 mg 4 times a day for at least 7 days or (if such a dose is poorly tolerated) – 250 mg 4 times a day for at least 14 days.

In adults, with uncomplicated chlamydia and intolerance to tetracyclines – 500 mg 4 times a day for at least 7 days.

Ointment

Apply topically – the drug is placed behind the lower eyelid. The dose, frequency and duration of use are determined individually.

Lyophilisate

The dosage regimen is set individually, depending on the indications for use, the severity of the disease, the patient’s age, and the tolerability of therapy.

Administer intravenously as a slow bolus (over 3-5 minutes) or by drip.

Adverse Reactions

Hypersensitivity reactions skin allergic reactions (urticaria, other forms of rash), eosinophilia; rarely – anaphylactic shock.

Nausea, vomiting, gastralgia, tenesmus, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dysbacteriosis; rarely – oral candidiasis, pseudomembranous enterocolitis (both during and after treatment), impaired liver function, cholestatic jaundice, increased activity of liver transaminases, pancreatitis, hearing loss and/or tinnitus (when using high doses – more than 4 g/day, hearing loss after drug withdrawal is usually reversible).

Rarely – tachycardia, prolongation of the QT interval on ECG, ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular tachycardia (of the “torsades de pointes” type) in patients with prolonged QT interval.

Contraindications

  • Hypersensitivity;
  • Hearing loss;
  • Concomitant use of terfenadine or astemizole;
  • Lactation period.

With caution arrhythmias (in history); QT interval prolongation; jaundice (in history); hepatic insufficiency; renal insufficiency.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Due to the possibility of penetration into breast milk, breastfeeding should be avoided while taking erythromycin.

Use in Hepatic Impairment

Contraindicated in hepatic insufficiency.

Use in Renal Impairment

Contraindicated in renal insufficiency.

Pediatric Use

For children from 4 months to 18 years, depending on age, body weight and severity of infection – 30-50 mg/kg/day in 2-4 divided doses; for children in the first 3 months of life – 20-40 mg/kg/day. In case of more severe infections, the dose can be doubled.

Geriatric Use

The likelihood of developing an ototoxic effect is higher in elderly patients.

Special Precautions

During long-term therapy, it is necessary to monitor laboratory parameters of liver function.

Symptoms of cholestatic jaundice may develop several days after the start of therapy, but the risk of development increases after 7-14 days of continuous therapy. The likelihood of developing an ototoxic effect is higher in patients with renal and hepatic insufficiency, as well as in elderly patients.

Some resistant strains of Haemophilus influenzae are sensitive to the simultaneous administration of erythromycin and sulfonamides.

May interfere with the determination of urinary catecholamines and the activity of liver transaminases in the blood (colorimetric determination using diphenylhydrazine).

Overdose

Symptoms impaired liver function, up to acute liver failure, hearing loss.

Treatment activated charcoal, careful monitoring of the respiratory system. Gastric lavage is effective when taking a dose five times the average therapeutic dose. Hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, forced diuresis are ineffective.

Drug Interactions

Drugs that block tubular secretion prolong the T1/2 of erythromycin.

Incompatible with lincomycin, clindamycin and chloramphenicol (antagonism).

Reduces the bactericidal effect of beta-lactam antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems).

With simultaneous use with drugs whose metabolism is carried out in the liver (theophylline, carbamazepine, valproic acid, hexobarbital, phenytoin, alfentanil, disopyramide, lovastatin, bromocriptine), the concentration of these drugs in plasma may increase (is an inhibitor of liver microsomal enzymes).

Increases the nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine (especially in patients with concomitant renal insufficiency). Reduces the clearance of triazolam and midazolam, which may enhance the pharmacological effects of benzodiazepines.

With simultaneous use with terfenadine or astemizole – possibility of developing arrhythmias, with dihydroergotamine or non-hydrogenated ergot alkaloids – vasoconstriction to spasm, dysesthesia.

Slows down the elimination (enhances the effect) of methylprednisolone, felodipine and coumarin anticoagulants.

When taken together with lovastatin, rhabdomyolysis is enhanced.

Increases the bioavailability of digoxin.

Reduces the effectiveness of hormonal contraception.
