Emgel

Main Ingredient: Erythromycin

Emgel is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat nearly most bacterial infections of the body. Emgel is also used to treat sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as Gonorrhea and Syphilis. Emgel is given especially to those who are otherwise allergic or sensitive to sulfa drugs or penicillin.

Like most other antibiotics, Emgel works best when there is a steady supply of drug in the system. To do that, it is vital not to miss any doses and it should be applied at prescribed intervals.
