Study group discussion: Drug causing hypertrophic pyloric stenosis

Exposure to which drug leads to infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis?
Hint: One of the macrolides.

Erythromycin?

Yeah, they have found the  association in the research that was conducted!

If administered in the infant, can cause hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Within 15 days of life, that is.

Interesting.
