Information About Erythromycin

Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat respiratory infections, skin infections, chlamydia, and acne vulgaris in Singapore. Available as a 250mg–500mg oral tablet taken four times daily or as a topical gel for acne, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. It is an important alternative antibiotic for penicillin-allergic patients — however, its significant CYP3A4 inhibition causes clinically important interactions with statins, warfarin, and QT-prolonging drugs requiring careful medication review before initiation.
