Product Introduction
Erythromycin Stearate 250mg is a macrolide antibiotic for susceptible bacterial respiratory, skin and other selected infections. It may be used where an appropriate penicillin alternative is needed.
How to use
Swallow with water. Erythromycin stearate is preferably taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal, for reliable absorption. Keep doses evenly spaced.
How it works
Erythromycin binds to bacterial 50S ribosomes and blocks the protein production required for bacterial growth.
Side effects
Abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea are common. Jaundice, fainting or a fast irregular heartbeat requires prompt assessment.
Important information
Tell your doctor about liver disease, low potassium or magnesium and an abnormal heart rhythm. Important interactions include simvastatin, lovastatin, colchicine and medicines that prolong the QT interval.
Uses
- Susceptible bacterial respiratory and skin infections and other organism-specific indications.
Benefits
Suppressing bacterial growth helps the immune system clear an appropriate susceptible infection.
Can erythromycin worsen myasthenia gravis?
Erythromycin can worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis. New difficulty swallowing or breathing during treatment needs urgent care.
Why can it cause stomach cramps?
It stimulates gut motility as well as acting as an antibiotic. Persistent severe pain or diarrhoea needs assessment.
Can it be taken with a statin?
Some combinations substantially increase muscle-injury risk, particularly simvastatin or lovastatin. The statin regimen may need changing during treatment.
Can a previous penicillin allergy be relevant?
Erythromycin is chemically different from penicillin, but the infection type and any previous macrolide reaction still determine whether it is suitable.
