Effectiveness
How Erythromycin And Benzoyl Peroxide Affects PatientsErythromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It works by blocking the bacteria's ability to make proteins, but does not affect nucleic acid synthesis. Depending on the strain of bacteria, erythromycin may be used alone or in combination with a sulfonamide. It is important to test the bacteria for resistance before using erythromycin. Side effects can include pseudomembranous colitis, which can range from mild to serious, and hepatic dysfunction or abnormal liver transaminases, especially if the erythromycin estolate is used.
How Erythromycin And Benzoyl Peroxide works in the bodyErythromycin is a drug that targets bacteria by preventing them from making proteins. It works by attaching to the ribosomal RNA of the bacteria, which is a molecule needed for protein synthesis. By blocking this molecule, erythromycin stops the bacteria from making proteins and in turn, stops them from replicating and spreading. This makes it an effective treatment for various bacterial infections.

Erythromycin And Benzoyl Peroxide Reviews: What are patients saying about Erythromycin And Benzoyl Peroxide?
5Patient Review
8/11/2016 I had great results with this acne treatment. I only needed to apply a very thin layer and it was more effective than other medications I've tried. I even stopped using it for a while and my skin stayed clear.
5Patient Review
6/20/2008 I had been trying different acne treatments for months to no avail, so I finally saw a doctor. He prescribed this medication, which has worked wonders in just three weeks.
5Patient Review
5/6/2010 I had acne for 17 years and nothing else worked. I'm glad I found this treatment, which has finally helped clear up my skin.
4.3Patient Review
1/4/2010 This ointment is great for treating acne, but it doesn't do anything to prevent it. In fact, I find it so drying that my face becomes super oily within a few hours of using it.
4.3Patient Review
11/29/2014 Though this product did work for me right away, I unfortunately got some in my eyes and they've become severely swollen as a result. Make sure to take the necessary precautions when using this (i.e. keep it away from your eyes) and refrigerate it as directed on the label. I'm going to try a homeopathic remedy like apple cider vinegar with "mother" in it next since I've read that it can be effective against acne with no side effects—unlike this medication (and all medications).
3.7Patient Review
6/16/2008 It took some time to see results, but I'm pleased with how this is working out so far.
3.3Patient Review
2/8/2021 This treatment helped my acne when nothing else did. However, I experienced a chemical burn around my mouth, chin, and under eyes (I was careful to avoid those areas). The burn caused lines and wrinkles that I now have to get treated for. It's unpleasant and I would caution others before using this product.
Patient Q&A Section about erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.Do you wash off erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide topical gel?
"In that case, you may want to wash your face more often.
If your skin is freshly washed or shaved, the alcohol in the mixed medicine may irritate it. Try to avoid washing the acne-affected area(s) too often, as this can dry out your skin and make your acne worse. Washing your face with a mild, bland soap 2 or 3 times a day should be enough, unless you have oily skin. If that's the case, you may need to wash your face more often."
Answered by AI
How long does it take for erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide topical gel to work?
"After using this product for a few weeks, acne should improve. However, it may take a couple of months to see the full benefits of using this product."
Answered by AI
Can I use benzoyl peroxide with erythromycin?
"This medicine is a combination of erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide and is used to treat acne. Erythromycin works by killing the bacteria that cause acne, and benzoyl peroxide works by keeping the skin pores clean. This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription."
Answered by AI
Which is better erythromycin or benzoyl peroxide?
"Erythromycin lotion and benzoyl peroxide gel are both effective in reducing the number of small inflamed lesions and overall acne severity, according to a double-blind clinical study."
