Taking this med. again, will the infection not go through my body. ## does this medicine cause bleeding ## erythcinbs cause bleeding ## Erythromycin is an antibiotic that is used to treat, or prevent infections.

Seems to increase the heart rate when I trying to sleep! is this normal?? ## No, this is not normal, the possibility of developing an arrhythmia is actually warned about as a serious side effect and since the elevated heart rate could lead to it, you should contact your doctor immediately. Some medications just don't work well for certain people, so you may need to try something else. Are there any questions or comments?

Is it ok if I crush Erythrom Eth to treat my skin infection? ## In instances such as this, there are several things that have to be taken under consideration. The first is whether or not you actually have an infection, that needs to be confirmed by a doctor's exam. And the next, of course, is what would be the appropriate antibiotic to treat it, if you do have one. Crushing it may not work, because you may not absorb enough to actually do you any good. You can learn more Erythromycin details here. Tablets haven't been formulated for transdermal absorption and you could end up creating a situation where you develop antibiotic resistance. Thus, for anyone wanting an answer to a similar question, the best advice I can give is that you see your doctor, if you think you have an infec...

Hiya im going to be taking erythromycin 250mg and it says on the packet to take 1 tablet 4 times a day spaced between 6 hours. I was told to take 2 in morning and 2 at night so im wondering if 2 250mg tablets to make up 500mg is ok to do or should I space the doses out? ## Hello, Jessica! How are you? The normal dosing is every 6 hours, so they'd be evenly spaced and taken 4 times a day. However, if your doctor instructed you to do otherwise, then you should follow their instructions. This is an antibiotic, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Erythromycin details here.

what is the es or dr code as in Erythromycin es or Erythromycin dr?? ## i was perscribed erthomycin 400 mg but was does es stand for and is ok to take if trying to get pregnant.. I keep getting lesions under my skin ## For anyone still seeking such information… Erythromycin is an antibiotic that's used to treat or prevent infections. The ES is for extra strength or double strength, the dr is used similarly, it just means it's a higher dose of the antibiotic than the standard. Learn more Erythromycin details here. And from what I can find, it isn't contraindicated when trying to get pregnant, being pregnant, or breastfeeding, but you should always double check with your doctor. Are there any questions or concerns?
