Patient's question:
Please help me look into this for my friend. She went to the hospital today for a medical procedure and had an abortion with anesthesia. The doctor prescribed a medication named Erythrocin 0.125g12#. What is this medicine? She checked the price and it's quite expensive, so we want to clarify it first before buying. Please let me know as soon as possible.Doctor's answer:
Erythromycin, clinically primarily used for tonsillitis, scarlet fever, diphtheria, carriers, gonorrhea, listeriosis, and lower respiratory tract infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (the above are applicable to patients who are penicillin-intolerant. For Legionnaires' pneumonia and mycoplasma pneumonia, this drug can be used as a first-line treatment. It can also be used for upper respiratory tract infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae, skin and soft tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, syphilis, intestinal amoebiasis, and other conditions.)
