Popis: | Summary Background Motilin receptor stimulation with erythromycin has been shown to have a prokinetic effect on gall-bladder motility in human beings. Aim To find out whether oral clarithromycin has similar prokinetic activity to erythromycin on fasting and postprandial gall-bladder emptying in normal humans and those with gall-stone disease. Methods In a blinded two-way crossover study clarithromycin 500 mg and a placebo were administered to 10 normal subjects and 10 subjects with gall-stone disease. Gall-bladder volumes were assessed in the fasting and postprandial state. Results Fasting volumes were significantly less following clarithromycin administration in both normal subjects and subjects with gall-stones compared with placebo (12.1 ± 1.8 mL vs. 17.8 ± 2.0 mL, P |
