Abstract
The effect of water deprivation on the physiologic, biochemical, and disposition parameters of erythromycin was investigated in rabbits. The packed cell volume, plasma glucose, and total lipid concentration increased significantly in dehydration. The pharmacokinetic parameters of erythromycin after intravenous administration also changed, suggesting a need for monitoring toxicity of erythromycin in the water-deprived population.
