Effect of carbon dioxide on erythromycin.
Exposure of erythromycin solutions to CO(2) or air for 18 h resulted in minimal deterioration under both conditions. Saturated disks exposed to the two atmospheres resulted in greater erythromycin deterioration, with slightly more deterioration occurring in the presence of CO(2). Reduction of activity was greatest when assays were conducted in a CO(2) environment.
