Oral antibacterial compositions and method for the improvement of gastrointestinal absorption of penem or carbapenem antibiotics.

摘要

Oral antibacterial compositions contain a penem or carbapenem antibiotic in combination with an absorption improver selected from substances capable of inhibiting the dipeptidase localized on/in epithelial cells of the small intestine, cilastatin, glutathione and N-acetyl-L-cysteine. Gastrointestinal absorption of the penem or carbapenem antibiotic can be improved by orally administering the absorption improver in combination with the antibiotic.
