Effectiveness
How Erythrocin Stearate Affects PatientsErythromycin is a type of antibiotic that treats bacterial infections by stopping the growth and spread of bacteria. It is important to test the bacteria to make sure it is susceptible to erythromycin before administering the drug. Some strains of Haemophilus influenzae are resistant to erythromycin but may be sensitive to erythromycin and sulfonamides used in combination. It is important to note that Staphylococci that are resistant to erythromycin may emerge during erythromycin and/or sulfonamide therapy. Taking erythromycin may cause
How Erythrocin Stearate works in the bodyErythromycin works by preventing bacteria from making proteins. It binds to the ribosomes in the bacteria, which are responsible for making proteins. This stops the bacteria from making proteins and ultimately kills them, controlling bacterial infections. This drug has a strong affinity for bacterial ribosomes, which is why it is effective against such a wide range of bacterial infections.
When to interrupt dosage
The prescribed measure of Erythrocin Stearate is subject to the diagnosed condition, such as Chlamydia Trachomatis, penicillins and Syphilis. The dosage may differ in line with the technique of administration (e.g. Granule, for suspension or Tablet, film coated - Oral), as specified in the table underneath.Condition

Erythrocin Stearate Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe toxic dose of erythromycin for rats is 9272 mg/kg. Taking too much erythromycin can cause diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting. If an overdose occurs, the drug should be stopped right away and any unabsorbed drug should be removed as quickly as possible. Supportive treatments may also be necessary. Unfortunately, neither peritoneal dialysis nor hemodialysis are able to remove erythromycin from the body.

Erythrocin Stearate Reviews: What are patients saying about Erythrocin Stearate?
2.3Patient Review
8/29/2008 This gave me a burning feeling in my stomach and rectum. It also made me bleed.
2Patient Review
10/1/2012 I went to my doctor because I had a painful boil on my face and something in my ear. He prescribed this medication, but instead of helping the situation, it caused another boil to form; which was even larger and more painful than the first one. He then lanced the boil, but nothing came out. The dosage of this medication was decreased as a result. However, now I am experiencing severe hair loss! I am 18 years old and I am really upset! I have a bald spot on my right temple; the size of a quarter. Hopefully my hair will grow back.
2Patient Review
4/20/2010 I was recommended this medicine as an alternative to Reglan, but I found it did not work well for me. I had to cut the pills in half because they do not make the dosage that was prescribed for me, and this made them difficult to take. I felt more sick after taking this pill than I did before, so I have stopped taking it altogether. It seems like there should be more studies done on this very debilitating condition!
Patient Q&A Section about erythrocin stearate
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.What class of drug is erythromycin stearate?
"Erythromycin is an antibiotic that slows the growth of bacteria."
Answered by AI
What is erythromycin stearate drug used for?
"Erythromycin is a medication used to treat many different types of bacterial infections. It can also be taken to prevent certain bacterial infections from occurring. Erythromycin is said to be a macrolide antibiotic. This means that it works by stopping the growth of bacteria."
Answered by AI
What is the difference between erythromycin and erythromycin stearate?
"The traditional antibiotic for treating pertussis is oral erythromycin. Erythromycin estolate is considered more effective than erythromycin ethylsuccinate or erythromycin stearate because it results in higher concentrations of the drug in the bloodstream and respiratory secretions."
Answered by AI
Is Erythrocin and erythromycin the same?
"Erythrocin Stearate Film-coated tablets are an antibacterial product containing the stearate salt of erythromycin in a unique film coating. This film coating helps the erythromycin to be absorbed by the body more slowly, which reduces the possibility of side effects."
