We hypothesized that azithromycin is comparable to erythromycin in eliciting pharmacodynamic outcomes for antral and small bowel motility
Erythromycin (ERY) is used in the treatment of gastroparesis; however, this medication is associated with serious side effects, such as cardiac arrhythmias and consequent cardiorespiratory arrest
AZI induces activity fronts in the antrum followed by duodenal contractions more frequently than ERY in patients with GID
Upper endoscopy
[Google It is well recognized that small-bowel motility is complex, with contraction patterns that differ between the proximal small bowel and distal small bowel
Of 24 patients, 6 had normal, 11 had delayed, and 7 had accelerated gastric emptying
Introduction
Furthermore, azithromycin is increasingly suggested as a potential treatment of upper gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux, or The management of bowel obstruction depends upon the etiology, severity, and location of the obstruction
1 The most common etiologies of GP are diabetes, post-surgical, medication-induced, idiopathic or The recommended anti-microbial dosage of oral erythromycin in dogs and cats is 10-20 mg/kg every eight hours
Erythromycin induces contractions that originate in the gastric antrum and migrate to the duodenum, jejunum, and terminal ileum
In addition, if mixed with tretinoin cream or Furthermore, the function of PYY resembles that of GLP-1; thus, PYY is likely to suppress appetite, slow gastric emptying and inhibit small-intestinal motility
Third, erythromycin may have also increased small intestinal motility [8, 9] and displaced fluid to the colon, thereby limiting the increase in small bowel volume
These are called metoclopramide and domperidone
005), whereas the We studied the small intestinal motor effects of oral and intravenous (iv) erythromycin in 10 conscious dogs
The prokinetic dosage is much lower at 0
Small bowel motility disorders constitute a relatively small but important segment of clinical gastroenterology
Gastric motility can be markedly abnormal in critically ill patients, resulting in slow and delayed gastric emptying, food intolerance, and inadequate nutrition
Options for enhancing motility include: Normal digestion must be allowed to function (no acid-blocking drugs) and thrive, so support with supplemental stomach acid and/or digestive enzymes is a good idea
, age 31±3y, 13 females), or placebo (37±3y, 13 females) in 40 healthy asymptomatic volunteers
These data suggest the possible use of A/C as a prokinetic agent
The small intestine and large intestine both contain bacteria that help with normal function of the intestine including digestion and immunity
53, 57-60 Both, however, were withdrawn from the US market due to QT prolongation, cardiac arrhythmias, and sudden death
The effect of erythromycin on bile excretion and proximal small bowel motility following divided gastric bypass surgery: a prospective randomized placebo-controlled trial
Our objective was to determine the effect of erythromycin (EM) in improving gastrointestinal motility in INTRODUCTION
Dysmotility may occur in the small bowel and also in other areas of the gastrointestinal tract (eg, oesophagus, stomach and colon)
Abstract AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of oral erythromycin as a prokinetic agent for the treatment of moderately severe gastrointestinal dysmotility in
Erythromycin, at therapeutic doses (500–1000 mg), induces strong and continuous gastric contractions which do not migrate to the small intestine [5,12,14,15]

, 2012) and an ability to stimulate gastro-duodenal motility (Sifrim et al
Erythromycin in a very low dose, 50 mg taken at bedtime, does not work as an antibiotic at that level, but does enhance motility
They may also increase the risk of line infections in patients on long-term PN
The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology was applied to evaluate the effect of metoclopramide, erythromycin, and EEN on the resolution of ileus in adult surgical patients based on selected outcomes: return of normal bowel function, attainment of enteral feeding goal, and hospital length of stay
These may normalize
, ileus plus colonic pseudo-obstruction), then neostigmine may be considered (see chapter on colonic pseudo
However, very little is known regarding the effects of tegaserod on antral and small bowel motor activity in humans
Several papers have reported the effectiveness of ER in such patients; however few of these studies have been well-conducted methodologically with evaluation of clinical endpoints and Effect of Erythromycin on Small Intestinal and Colonic Fluid Volume
Symptoms include: feeling dizzy, shaky, or faint
We hypothesized that erythromycin stimulates directly stimulates smooth muscle cells by a calcium-mediated event
Aim : To study the motility response of the small bowel to a low dose of intravenous erythromycin after meal intake and during fasting
Cisapride and tegaserod are serotonin agonists that improve gastric emptying and antral/small intestinal motility and coordination
These are called metoclopramide and domperidone
In healthy volunteers, the drug stimulates small-intestinal motility and post-prandial antral and intestinal motility
