What is Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate) used for?

Erytheocin (Erythromycin Estolate) is a macrolide antibiotic prescribed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. The medication operates by slowing or stopping the reproduction of bacteria cells allowing the immune system to destroy the infection. This makes it useful for treating acne, prostatitis, gonorrhea, or infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, bones, soft tissues, or middle ear. Your physician may also prescribe the medication to treat other unlisted conditions.

How should I use 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. These should be swallowed with a full glass of water on an empty stomach to aid absorption. 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.
