View company portfolio →What Maxithro (Erythromycin) is used for
From our condition guides, written from WHO, NICE and other opened sources. Your doctor decides if Erythromycin is right for you and the dose.
- Acne: Used instead of a tetracycline if it cannot be taken or causes side effects
- Acute bronchitis: alternative when an antibiotic is needed and the first choice is unsuitable, for example in penicillin allergy
- Cholera: first choice antibiotic for children and pregnant women, and an alternative for adults
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye): For bacterial pink eye when your doctor thinks treatment is needed. Chloramphenicol drops are a common first choice in UK guidance. Fluoroquinolone drops are kept for more severe infection and for contact lens wearers. Ointment is sometimes used at night. They do not help viral or allergic pink eye
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis): only when an infection is spreading, severe or the person is unwell
- Impetigo: Used instead of a penicillin if you are allergic to penicillin. Erythromycin is the preferred macrolide in pregnancy if one is needed
- Middle ear infection (otitis media): alternative for people allergic to penicillin
- Sinusitis: not needed for most people
- Sore throat (pharyngitis and tonsillitis): an option for people allergic to penicillin
