Erythromycin 100Ml Suspension - Liquid Antibiotic for Bacterial Infections
Erythromycin Suspension 100Ml is an oral antibiotic liquid used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is particularly effective for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. Erythromycin belongs to the macrolide antibiotic class and works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, helping to alleviate symptoms caused by infections in the respiratory tract, skin, and other parts of the body.
This formulation is ideal for children or patients who cannot take pills, offering an easy-to-administer liquid form of this powerful antibiotic. It is often prescribed for treating conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and ear infections, as well as certain types of skin infections. Additionally, erythromycin suspension can be used to treat or prevent infections after surgery.
Erythromycin functions by binding to bacterial ribosomes, thereby preventing the production of essential proteins needed for bacteria to grow. By halting bacterial reproduction, this helps in the reduction and elimination of the infection.
How to Use Erythromycin 100Ml Suspension
Shake the bottle well before use. The usual dose for adults is 1 teaspoon (5mL) every 6 hours, or as directed by a healthcare provider. For children, dosage is determined based on weight and severity of the infection. Always follow your doctor's instructions and finish the entire prescribed treatment, even if you feel better.
Precautions
Inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease or if you are taking other medications. This medication may interact with other drugs, including blood thinners. Erythromycin should be used with caution in patients with a history of arrhythmias.
Possible Side Effects
Side effects may include stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea. Serious reactions are rare but may include jaundice, abdominal pain, or severe allergic reactions like rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Contact a healthcare provider immediately if these symptoms appear.
