Eryc is a prescription antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It contains an active ingredient called Erythromycin. Erythromycin belongs to the macrolide antibiotic class of medications. Erythromycin works by binding to the bacteria’s ribosomes and preventing the production of proteins, which are essential for the bacteria’s survival and reproduction. As a result, the bacteria become unable to multiply and die out.

Use erythromycin and other antibiotics only to treat or prevent infections caused by bacteria, and not viruses, as antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections. Eryc should also be used only under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare professional, as it may interact with other medications or cause side effects in some patients.

Eryc is available in capsule form and contains enteric-coated pellets of erythromycin base for oral administration. For maximum absorption, take Eryc on an empty stomach. However, if nausea occurs, you may take it with food or milk. Swallow the capsule whole and do not crush, chew, or break it.

The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by your medical condition and response to treatment, and in children, it is also based on their age and weight. To ensure optimal effectiveness, take Eryc at evenly spaced intervals and at the same time each day. If Eryc is being used to treat an infection, continue taking the medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms improve before the treatment is complete.

Stopping the medication too soon may result in a recurrence of the infection. If you are taking Eryc to prevent bacterial infections, make sure to follow your doctor’s instructions and not discontinue the medication without approval from your doctor.

Can I stop taking erythromycin if I start to feel better?

No, keep taking erythromycin for as long as your provider told you to do so, even if you start to feel better. If you stop too early or skip doses, your infection can become even harder to treat.

How many days should I take erythromycin?

The length of time you take erythromycin depends on the type of infection you have and how severe it is. Most infections can be treated in 7 days, but other infections might take 3 weeks or more to be completely cleared up.

How long does Eryc take to work?

Eryc typically starts to work within a few days of beginning treatment. However, continue taking the medication for the full course of treatment, as prescribed by your doctor, even if symptoms improve.

How should Eryc be stored?

Eryc should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication out of the reach of children and to properly dispose of any unused medication according to local regulations.
