ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The absorption of antibiotics given through oral and rectal routes of administration is significantly enhanced by use of the antibiotic in conjunction with a two- or three-component absorption enhancing system made up of a polyoxyethylene glycol- C6 to C18 glyceride ester, a C6 to C18 carboxylic acid and, optionally, a C6 to C18 carboxylic acid salt. A carrier and adjuvants are usually included. These compositions can be administered in oral or rectal dosage forms such as capsules, beadlets and suppositories. |
