Ery-Tab

Main Ingredient: Erythromycin

Ery-Tab is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat nearly most bacterial infections of the body including those of throat, ears, and eyes, upper and lower respiratory tract, urinary tract and heart. Ery-Tab is also used to treat sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as Gonorrhea and Syphilis as well as rheumatic fever, and bacterial endocarditis. Ery-Tab is given especially to those who are otherwise allergic or sensitive to sulfa drugs or penicillin.

Like most other antibiotics, Ery-Tab 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 taken at regularly intervals.

ERY-TAB SIDE EFFECTS

Common side effects of Ery-Tab may include upset stomach, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting. Rare side effects of Ery-Tab may include hives, rash, temporary hearing loss, inflammation of the intestine or severe allergic reaction.
