    [1] [2] [3] It is either taken by mouth or applied to the skin as a cream or ointment. [1] [4] The cream and ointment should not be used for fungal nail infections. [5] Common side effects when taken by mouth include nausea, diarrhea, headache, cough, rash, and elevated liver enzymes. [1] Severe side effects include liver problems and allergic ...

  3. Erythromycin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythromycin

    Most of erythromycin is metabolised by demethylation in the liver by the hepatic enzyme CYP3A4. Its main elimination route is in the bile with little renal excretion, 2%–15% unchanged drug. Erythromycin's elimination half-life ranges between 1.5 and 2.0 hours and is between 5 and 6 hours in patients with end-stage renal disease. Erythromycin ...

  4. Erythromycin breath test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythromycin_breath_test

    The erythromycin breath test has numerous clinical applications, particularly in transplantation and pharmacology. It is frequently used to evaluate the activity of the CYP3A4 enzyme, which is critical in the metabolism of medications such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus in liver transplant patients.

  5. Macrolide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrolide

    Macrolides, mainly erythromycin and clarithromycin, also have a class effect of QT prolongation, which can lead to torsades de pointes. Macrolides exhibit enterohepatic recycling; that is, the drug is absorbed in the gut and sent to the liver, only to be excreted into the duodenum in bile from the liver. This can lead to a buildup of the ...

  6. CYP3A4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYP3A4

    Cytochrome P450 3A4 (abbreviated CYP3A4) (EC 1.14.13.97) is an important enzyme in the body, mainly found in the liver and in the intestine, which in humans is encoded by CYP3A4 gene. It oxidizes small foreign organic molecules (xenobiotics), such as toxins or drugs, so that they can be removed from the body.

    Cytochrome P450 enzymes also function to metabolize potentially toxic compounds, including drugs and products of endogenous metabolism such as bilirubin, principally in the liver. The Human Genome Project has identified 57 human genes coding for the various cytochrome P450 enzymes. [5]

  9. Antibiotic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic

    In cases where antibiotics have been suggested to affect the efficiency of birth control pills, such as for the broad-spectrum antibiotic rifampicin, these cases may be due to an increase in the activities of hepatic liver enzymes' causing increased breakdown of the pill's active ingredients.
