Abstract
Premature infants frequently suffer from feeding
intolerance and are exposed to nasoduodenal feeding and
parenteral nutrition with their complications for prolonged
times. Establishing enteral feeding is therefore a critical
milestone during management of premature infants.
Erythromycin, is a motilin agonist with prokinetic effect which
improve feeding tolerance however its use should be reserved
for only high risk preterm neonates with persistent and severe
feeding intolerance while limiting the duration of exposure and
ensuring long term follow up.
Key words:
Erythromycin – Enteral feeding – Preterm infants.
