PHARMACOLOGICAL GROUP AND ATC CODE Antibacterial for topical use; ATC code - D10AF02. PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION Erythromycin 1% ointment contains the active ingredient erythromycin, which is a type of medicine known as a macrolide antibiotic. Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of ribosomes of sensitive organisms. Erythromycin 1% ointment is applied to the skin to treat acne. The erythromycin works by attacking the bacteria associated with acne, _ Propionibacterium acnes_. This is a common type of bacteria that feeds on sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Although the mechanism of action of Erythromycin in reducing inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris has not been conclusively shown, it is presumably due to its antibiotic action on sensitive bacteria, and in reducing follicular porphyrin fluorescence and free fatty acid levels of skin lipids. Erythromycin prevens these bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers. Erythromycin doesn’t directly kill the bacteria, but leaves them unable to increase in numbers. The remaining bacteria eventually die or are destroyed by the immune system. By controlling bacterial numbers, erythromycin brings the inflammation of the sebaceous glands under control, and allows the skin to heal. The application of high doses, depending on the type of agent may also exhibit bactericidal effect. PHARMACOKINETICS Only very small amounts of erythromycin appear to be absorbed systemically following topical application to the skin. Which subsequently excret Прочитать полный документ
