Warnings
Contraindications
Coadministration with terfenadine
Coadministration with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors that are extensively metabolized by CYP3A4 (lovastatin or simvastatin)
Co-administration of erythromycin with ergotamine or dihydroergotamine
Cautions
Hepatic dysfunction, including increased liver enzymes, and hepatocellular and/or cholestatic hepatitis, with or without jaundice reported in patients receiving oral erythromycin products
Prescribing therapy in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to patient and increases risk of development of drug-resistant bacteria
Since erythromycin is principally excreted by the liver, caution should be exercised when erythromycin is administered to patients with impaired hepatic function
Exacerbation of symptoms of myasthenia gravis and new onset of symptoms of myasthenic syndrome reported in patients receiving erythromycin therapy
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) in infants following erythromycin therapy reported; a possible dose-response effect reported; since erythromycin may be used in the treatment of conditions in infants which are associated with significant mortality or morbidity (such as pertussis or neonatal Chlamydia trachomatis infections), the benefit of therapy needs to be weighed against potential risk of developing IHPS; parents should be informed to contact their physician if vomiting or irritability with feeding occurs
Prolonged or repeated use of erythromycin may result in an overgrowth of nonsusceptible bacteria or fungi; if superinfection occurs, erythromycin should be discontinued, and appropriate therapy instituted
When indicated, incision and drainage or other surgical procedures should be performed in conjunction with antibiotic therapy; observational studies in humans have reported cardiovascular malformations after exposure to drug products containing erythromycin during early pregnancy
QT Prolongation
- Therapy has been associated with prolongation of QT interval and infrequent cases of arrhythmia; elderly patients may be more susceptible to drug-associated effects on QT interval
- Cases of torsades de pointes spontaneously reported during postmarketing surveillance in patients receiving erythromycin; fatalities reported
- Therapy should be avoided in patients with known prolongation of QT interval, patients with ongoing proarrhythmic conditions such as uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, clinically significant bradycardia, and patients receiving Class IA (quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (dofetilide, amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents
Syphilis in pregnancy
- There have been reports suggesting erythromycin does not reach the fetus in adequate concentration to prevent congenital syphilis; infants born to women treated during pregnancy with oral erythromycin for early syphilis should be treated with appropriate penicillin regimen
Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea
- Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including erythromycin and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis
- Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile; C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to development of CDAD
- Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy
- CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use; careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after administration of antibacterial agents
- If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued; appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated
Drug interaction overview
- There have been post-marketing reports of cardiac arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsades de pointes, caused by coadministration of drugs that result in QT prolongation; fatalities reported
- Increased anticoagulant effects, which may be more pronounced in elderly when erythromycin and oral anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) are used concomitantly, reported
- Colchicine is a substrate for both CYP3A4 and the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp); erythromycin is considered moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4; a significant increase in colchicine plasma concentration is anticipated when co-administered with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors such as erythromycin; if coadministration of colchicine and erythromycin is necessary, may need to reduce starting dose of colchicine, and maximum colchicine dose lowered; monitor patients for clinical symptoms of colchicine toxicity
- Erythromycin may increase systemic exposure (AUC) of sildenafil; consider reduction of sildenafil dosage
- Erythromycin may decrease clearance of triazolam, midazolam and related benzodiazepines, increasing their effect
- Post-marketing reports indicate that co-administration with ergotamine or dihydroergotamine has been associated with acute ergot toxicity characterized by vasospasm and ischemia of central nervous system, extremities and other tissues

USES: Erythromycin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It may also be used to prevent certain bacterial infections. Erythromycin is known as a macrolide antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.This antibiotic treats or prevents only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.
HOW TO USE: This medication is usually given by injection into a vein as directed by your doctor, usually every 6 hours. It should be injected slowly over 20 to 60 minutes. Erythromycin may also be given continuously.You should use this injectable medication only until you are able to take an antibiotic by mouth or until your treatment is finished. The dosage and length of treatment are based on your medical condition, weight, and response to treatment.If you are using this medication at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.For the best effect, use this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, use this medication at the same time(s) every day.If you are using this medication to treat an infection, continue to use this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.If you are using this medication to prevent certain bacterial infections, use it exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not stop using the medication without your doctor's approval.
SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea/loose stools, stomach pain, or pain/redness at the injection site may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, hearing changes (such as ringing in the ears, hearing loss), severe abdominal/stomach pain, unusual weakness/tiredness, dark urine, yellowing skin/eyes, muscle weakness.Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: severe dizziness, fainting, fast/irregular heartbeat.This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition due to a bacteria called C. difficile. This condition may occur during treatment or weeks to months after treatment has stopped. Tell your doctor right away if you develop: diarrhea that doesn't stop, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, blood/mucus in your stool.If you have these symptoms, do not use anti-diarrhea or opioid products because they may make symptoms worse.Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in oral thrush or a new vaginal yeast infection. Contact your doctor if you notice white patches/sores in your mouth, a change in vaginal discharge, or other new symptoms.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

PRECAUTIONS: Before using erythromycin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to any other macrolide/ketolide antibiotics (such as clarithromycin, azithromycin); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: kidney disease, liver disease, a certain type of muscle disease (myasthenia gravis).Erythromycin may cause live bacterial vaccines (such as typhoid vaccine) to not work well. Tell your health care professional that you are using erythromycin before having any immunizations/vaccinations.Erythromycin may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using erythromycin, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using erythromycin safely.Babies may be at higher risk for a certain serious stomach problem. Contact your child's doctor right away if your child vomits or becomes irritable with feeding.Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially hearing loss and QT prolongation (see above).During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.This medication passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
