What Experts Say

Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that blocks bacteria from producing essential proteins, which stops them multiplying. It covers many of the bacteria behind chest, throat and skin infections.

It is particularly valued as a substitute for penicillin in people who are allergic, giving doctors an effective alternative. It is usually taken several times a day, and taking it with food can ease stomach upset.

Erythromycin can interact with several other medicines and occasionally affects heart rhythm, so the doctor should know all current medicines. Completing the full course remains important to clear the infection and limit resistance.
