THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antibiotic
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Erythromycin inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 50S
ribosomal subunit within the
microorganism. It is usually bacteriostatic but may be bactericidal
depending on the sensitivity
and number of organisms and the concentrations of the drug. Its
spectrum of activity is similar
to that of penicillin G. Resistance to erythromycin of some strains of
_H. influenza_ and
Staphylococci has been demonstrated.
INDICATIONS
For the treatment of superficial ocular infections involving the
conjunctiva and/or cornea caused
by organisms susceptible to erythromycin.
For prophylaxis of ophthalmic neonatorum due to _N. gonorrhoeae_ or
_C. trachomatis_. The
Canadian Pediatric Society, the Centers for Diseases Control and the
Committee on Drugs
(US), the Committee of Fetus and Newborn and the Committee on
Infectious Diseases of the
American Academy of Pediatrics recommend 1% silver nitrate solution in
single dose ampoules
or single use tubes of an ophthalmic ointment containing 0.5%
erythromycin or 1% tetracycline
as effective and acceptable regimens for prophylaxis of gonococcal
ophthalmia neonatorum.
Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment has also been effective for
prevention of neonatal
conjunctivitis due to _C. trachomatis_, a condition that may develop
one to several weeks after
delivery in infants of mothers whose birth canal harbor the organism.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bact
