AI Engines For more Details: PerplexityKagi LabsYou

  1. Respiratory Tract Infections: Dirithromycin is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections such as community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and pharyngitis/tonsillitis caused by susceptible bacteria.

  2. Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: It may also be used to treat skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including cellulitis and impetigo.

  3. Genitourinary Tract Infections: Dirithromycin can be effective against genitourinary tract infections such as urethritis and cervicitis caused by susceptible bacteria.

  4. Sexually Transmitted Infections: In some cases, dirithromycin may be used to treat sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia and non-gonococcal urethritis, although other antibiotics are more commonly used for these conditions.

  5. Helicobacter pylori Infection: Dirithromycin may be part of combination therapy for eradicating Helicobacter pylori bacteria in patients with peptic ulcer disease or chronic gastritis.

  6. Precautions and Side Effects: Like other antibiotics, dirithromycin can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), abdominal pain, and allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling). It may also interact with other medications, so it's essential to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.

  7. Not Suitable for All Bacterial Infections: Dirithromycin is effective against certain types of bacteria but may not be suitable for all bacterial infections. It's essential to use dirithromycin only as prescribed by a healthcare professional and to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished.

Impact of dirithromycin (antibiotic) on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
