WHAT DOES ERYTHROMYCIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

erythromycin

Erythromycin

Erythromycin is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. It is in the macrolide class and has an antimicrobial spectrum similar to or slightly wider than that of penicillin, and is often prescribed for people who have an allergy to penicillins. For respiratory tract infections, it has better coverage of atypical organisms, including Mycoplasma and legionellosis. It was first marketed by Eli Lilly and Company, and it is today commonly known as EES. It is commonly applied after delivery to the eyes of newborns to prevent ophthalmia neonatorum. It is used as an alternative treatment to treat STD's. Erythromycin improves gastric emptying and symptoms from delayed gastric emptying yet it is used in an off-label basis. Intravenous erythromycin should be considered when IV prokinetic therapy is needed in hospitalized patients. Oral treatment with erythromycin improves gastric emptying but has limited long-term efficacy. In structure, this macrocyclic compound contains a 14-membered lactone ring with ten asymmetric centers and two sugars, making it a compound very difficult to produce via synthetic methods.
