Evaluation of Prokinetic Action of Clarithromycin using Orocecal Transit Time in Healthy Human Subjects
The Internet Journal of Gastroenterology, 06/30/09

Shobha JC et al. - The prokinetic action of clarithromycin is substantiated in this study as it significantly reduced OTT as compared to placebo and loperamide.
