Bacterial Infections (pneumonia, Acne, Rosacea, dental infections, and sexually transmitted infections)
Eromycin 250mg Tablet contains erythromycin, a bacteriostatic in action which prevents the further growth of bacteria rather than directly killing the bacteria. Erythromycin works by blocking the protein synthesis of the bacteria. It does not affect protein synthesis in human tissues. When administered orally it is easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal system. Thus, Eromycin 250mg Tablet treats bacterial infections.
Eromycin 250mg Tablet is an antibiotic. It is used to treat infections caused by the bacteria, such as infections of the lungs, airways, throat, ear, intestine, reproductive tract, urinary tract, and skin infections.
Erythromycin acts by inhibiting the process of protein synthesis in susceptible organisms. It specifically binds to the 50S subunit or 70S ribosome, preventing the translocation process. This binding is specific to these organisms and does not occur with the 80S ribosome found in mammalian cells. Erythromycin demonstrates activity against many Gram-positive bacteria, and some Gram-negative bacteria, as well as mycoplasma and chlamydia.
When taken orally, erythromycin base is destroyed by stomach acid and therefore is administered in the form of stable esters. The absorption rates of both the base and esters are reduced when taken with food. The stearate form of erythromycin is hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract, releasing free erythromycin that can be absorbed.
