Effect of Erythromycin on the Intestinal Transport of Cyclosporine

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Co-administration of cyclosporine and erythromycin can cause nephrotoxicity which could be a result of interaction in absorption and/or metabolism level. The purpose of this work was to investigate the interaction of erythromycin and cyclosporine in absorption level to eval...
