Erytheocin

Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate) is a macrolide antibiotic prescribed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections such as cough, diphtheria, venereal disease, as well as ear, intestine and skin infections. Erythromycin works by slowing or stopping the reproduction of bacteria cells allowing the immune system to destroy the infection. It is also useful for treating acne, prostatitis, gonorrhea, or infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, bones, soft tissues, or middle ear.

Strictly follow all instructions provided to you by your physician or pharmacist while using Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate). Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate) is normally administered two to four times each day at a dosage of one tablet, but your individual instructions will be determined by your physician based on the condition being treated, your current health, and the severity of your symptoms.

Do not stop taking the medicine before being told to do so as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Never chew, split, or crush the tablets before use to avoid destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Ask your physician or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct administration.

Do not use Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate) if you are breastfeeding or allergic to macrolide antibiotics.
