Effectiveness
How E-Mycin Affects PatientsErythromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It works by blocking the production of proteins in bacteria, which stops them from multiplying and spreading. Erythromycin has been shown to be effective against certain bacteria, but it is important to test for drug-resistance before administering the antibiotic. Combining erythromycin with sulfonamides can be effective against resistant Haemophilus influenzae. It is possible to experience side effects such as pseudomembranous colitis and liver dysfunction when taking erythromycin, so it is important to monitor for these symptoms.
How E-Mycin works in the bodyErythromycin works by preventing bacteria from replicating. It does this by interfering with the protein-making process that bacteria need to reproduce. Erythromycin binds to ribosomal RNA molecules, which are necessary for bacterial protein synthesis. By binding to these molecules, it prevents the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit, thus halting bacterial protein synthesis. This results in the effective control of various bacterial infections.
When to interrupt dosage
The proposed dosage of E-Mycin is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Chlamydia Trachomatis, penicillins and Syphilis. The dose can differ, depending on the means of administration (e.g. Granule, for suspension or Tablet, film coated - Oral) as specified in the table below.Condition

7/24/2015 This antibiotic was terrible. The abdominal pain it caused was much worse than the flu it was prescribed for. If offered, tell them to try again...

8/15/2022 After taking just one pill (with food, as directed), I had such severe stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Never again will I choose this treatment over the skin infection it's meant to address.
1Patient Review
4/9/2013 Though this drug has helped me to get rid of infections in the past, they always come back a few months later. I also don't seem to experience any side effects, which is great.
