Effectiveness
How Erythrocin Affects PatientsMacrolides, like erythromycin, treat bacterial infections by preventing the bacteria from making proteins. It is effective against many different types of bacteria, but it is important to check for bacterial resistance before taking this antibiotic. There is a risk of pseudomembranous colitis and liver damage when taking erythromycin, and some strains of Haemophilus influenzae are resistant to erythromycin on its own, but can be treated with erythromycin combined with sulfonamides.
How Erythrocin works in the bodyErythromycin works by preventing bacteria from making proteins which they need to reproduce. It binds to the ribosomes in susceptible bacteria, which are responsible for producing proteins. This stops the bacteria from producing the proteins they need to replicate, thus controlling the bacterial infection. Macrolides like erythromycin have a strong affinity for bacterial ribosomes, which is why they are effective against such a broad range of bacteria.
When to interrupt dosage
The prescribed dosage of Erythrocin is contingent upon the established condition, including Chlamydia Trachomatis, penicillins and Syphilis. The amount of dosage can be found in the following table, depending on the method of delivery (e.g. Granule, for suspension or Tablet, film coated - Oral).Condition

Erythrocin Reviews: What are patients saying about Erythrocin?
5Patient Review
3/16/2015 So far, I've had no negative side effects from this treatment. I'm also taking a probiotic as a preventative measure, since I know that being on an antibiotic for 30 days can sometimes cause irritation.
5Patient Review
3/2/2017 I experienced no negative side effects from this medication, only some light-headedness which went away after a short while. My skin also started to clear up after just a few days. I made sure to take probiotics as well so that I wouldn't get a yeast infection.
5Patient Review
9/28/2021 Erythromycin is a great substitute for those who are allergic to penicillin. It works quickly and effectively against infections with minimal stomach upset.
5Patient Review
3/2/2017 I didn't experience any negative side effects, only some light-headedness occasionally. On the third day of taking this medication, I started to see my skin clearing up. To be safe, I also took probiotics so that I wouldn't get a yeast infection.
5Patient Review
9/28/2021 Erythromycin is a great alternative for people who are allergic to penicillin. It works quickly and efficiently to knock out infections.
5Patient Review
5/30/2018 Erythromycin is a reliable antibiotic that has always worked well for me, much better than the alternatives I've tried.
5Patient Review
3/16/2015 I completed the full 30 days of this treatment and experienced zero negative side effects. I credit this also to taking a probiotic throughout the duration of the antibiotic regimen.
5Patient Review
5/30/2018 Erythromycin is a really effective antibiotic, especially for sinus infections that have spread to the chest. It always works quickly for me, whereas other antibiotics (like Z-packs) haven't been nearly as successful.
4.7Patient Review
12/8/2016 I've been using this medication for a little while now and it's going well. In the beginning, I felt a bit strange after taking it but that soon went away.
4.7Patient Review
11/8/2014 I took the medication as directed and had zero issues. I'm not sure what other people are talking about when they say they experienced chest pain and vomiting.
4.7Patient Review
12/8/2016 The beginning was tough as I felt hypo and a bit out of it. But by the fourth day, I started feeling better and more like myself again.
4.7Patient Review
11/8/2014 I took the recommended dosage of 250mg four times a day, and I experienced zero negative side effects. I'm not sure what other people are talking about when they say they had problems with chest pains or vomiting--I didn't have any of that.
4.7Patient Review
1/30/2022 I'm currently taking this medication for a possible bacterial infection that might be related to an STI. I was really worried after reading some of the reviews, but so far I haven't had any problems. Some light gas and upper abdominal cramping but nothing too bad.
4.7Patient Review
1/30/2022 I'm using this for a possible bacterial infection that might be related to an STI. I was worried by the negative reviews but so far haven't had any issues. I took 500mg four times throughout the day on the first use, as directed. Some light gas and upper abdominal cramping but not that bad. Guess effect depends on the user.
4.3Patient Review
12/31/2015 Quickly lessened my congestion and eased throat pain. I also didn't experience any worrisome side effects, which was great.
4.3Patient Review
12/31/2015 Almost immediately after using this product, I noticed a significant reduction in congestion and throat pain. Additionally, I didn't experience any negative side effects, which was great.
3.7Patient Review
9/6/2017 Erythromycin is typically effective for me in terms of treating bacterial infections; however, it can be tough on the stomach. I have to make sure to take it with a full meal, otherwise I'll end up feeling extremely famished. All in all, though, it's better than dealing with the infection itself.
3.7Patient Review
1/6/2020 I was prescribed this medication for a tooth infection that eventually required extraction. I experienced significant mental side effects from the drug, including confusion and anxiety. As a result, I stopped taking it before finishing the course of treatment.
3.7Patient Review
9/6/2017 Erythromycin always works well for me to clear up infections, but it's hard on my stomach even when I take it with a meal. It makes me feel incredibly Hungry and my tummy growls a lot. However, it does its job overnight usually.
3.7Patient Review
1/6/2020 While this medication did effectively treat my tooth infection and allow me to get the tooth pulled, I stopped taking it because of the mental state it put me in. I was constantly tired, confused, and anxious while on the drug.
2Patient Review
8/24/2021 I experienced diarrhea every day while taking the suggested dosage of 500mg twice a day. After cutting down the dose to 250mg per dose, the frequency of diarrhea decreased; however, I still don't see much change in my acne.
