Erythromycin 250mg

Updated

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.

Is there anything else I can help with?
