What is Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate) used for?

Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate) is an oral macrolide antibiotic prescribed to treat patients suffering from a wide variety of bacterial infections. The medication operates by slowing or stopping the reproduction of bacteria cells allowing the immune system to control or destroy the infection. This action makes it useful for treating infections affecting the lungs, respiratory tract, middle ear, skin, soft tissues, eyes, digestive tract, prostate, or other bacterial conditions such as Gonorrhoea or syphilis. Your doctor may also recommend its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate)?

Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate) is normally prescribed to be taken once or twice daily at a dosage of one tablet for a cycle of medication lasting one or two weeks, but your individual directions will be determined by your doctor based on your age, weight, health condition, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full glass of water and may be taken with or without food, although a meal or snack is recommended before use if you get an upset stomach. Never split, chew, or crush the tablets before use to avoid destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Do not stop taking the medicine before being told to do so, even if your symptoms seem to have disappeared, as the infection may return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
