Eromycin 3% Lotion is an antibiotic specifically designed to treat acne and bacterial skin infections. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, leading to a reduction in the number of pimples and an improvement in symptoms.
This cream is intended for external use only and should be applied solely to the affected area of the skin according to your doctor's prescribed dosage and schedule. To derive the maximum benefit, apply it regularly at a consistent time each day. Avoid using larger amounts or applying it more frequently or for a longer duration than instructed, as this can increase the risk of side effects. It may take a while before you start noticing improvements in your acne, so it's important to be patient and continue using the cream daily.
Eromycin 3% Lotion is generally safe to use, with minimal side effects such as skin peeling, redness, dryness, irritation, itching, stinging, and a burning sensation. If any of these side effects persist or if your condition does not improve, consult your doctor for further guidance.
Ensure that the cream does not come into contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Prior to using Eromycin 3% Lotion, inform your doctor about any history of allergies to this or any other medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this cream to assess any potential risks.

Eromycin is an antibiotic that stops the growth of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. It does so by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by these bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Erythromycin belongs to the family of medicines called antibiotics. Erythromycin topical preparations are used on the skin to help control acne. They may be used alone or with one or more other medicines that are applied to the skin or taken by mouth for acne. They may also be used for other problems, such as skin infections, as determined by your doctor.
Erythromycin inhibits the synthesis of proteins in susceptible organisms by blocking the translocation process. It specifically binds to the 50S subunit or 70S ribosome in these organisms but does not bind to the normal 80S ribosome found in mammals. Erythromycin is effective against many Gram-positive bacteria, some Gram-negative bacteria, as well as mycoplasmas and chlamydia.
When taken orally, erythromycin base is destroyed by stomach acid, so it is administered in the form of stable esters. The absorption rates of the base and esters are reduced when taken with food. The stearate form is hydrolyzed in the intestines, releasing free erythromycin for absorption.
Before using this medication, make sure to cleanse the affected area with warm water and soap, rinse thoroughly, and gently dry it. If you have recently washed or shaved, it is advisable to wait for 30 minutes before applying the swab, gel, or liquid form. The alcohol content in these products can cause irritation on freshly washed or shaved skin.
For patients using the swab, gel, or liquid form of erythromycin:
These formulations contain alcohol and are flammable. Avoid using them near heat, open flames, or while smoking. It is important not to exceed the prescribed frequency of use. Using the medication too often can result in excessive dryness or irritation of the skin. Additionally, it is recommended not to overwash the acne-affected areas as this can further dry out the skin and exacerbate acne. Washing with a mild, non-irritating soap 2 or 3 times daily should be sufficient unless you have oily skin. If you have any concerns, consult your doctor. Instructions for use: The liquid form of this medication may come with an applicator tip for direct application to the skin. When applying, use a dabbing motion rather than a rolling motion (similar to a roll-on deodorant). If the medication does not come with an applicator, you can moisten a pad with the medicine and gently rub it over the entire affected area. Alternatively, you can apply the medication with your fingertips. Remember to wash your hands after applying the medicine. Apply a thin layer of the medication, using enough to lightly cover the affected area. Apply the medication to the entire area typically affected by acne, not just the individual pimples. This will help prevent the formation of new pimples. For the swab form, rub it over the entire affected area. Use additional swabs if necessary to cover larger areas. Since these medications contain alcohol, they may cause a stinging or burning sensation. Avoid getting them in your eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membranes. Spread the medication away from these areas during application. If the medication gets into your eyes, immediately and carefully rinse them with plenty of cool tap water. If your eyes continue to burn or are painful, consult your doctor. This medication will not cure your acne. However, to keep your acne under control, continue using the medication for the full duration of treatment, even if your symptoms improve after a few days. You may need to use this medication daily for several months or longer in some cases. If you stop using it too soon, your symptoms may return. It is important not to miss any doses.

Erythromycin should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) to the medication. It is also contraindicated in individuals with porphyria, a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the production of heme, a component of hemoglobin. Erythromycin should be used with caution or avoided in patients with hepatic impairment (liver dysfunction) as the medication is metabolized in the liver.
Regarding pregnancy, erythromycin is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication during pregnancy to assess the potential risks and benefits.
Clinical and Laboratory studies have been shown no evidence in human of teratogenicity or toxicity. However, caution should be exercised when prescribing this drug to pregnant patients and lactating mothers since erythromycin crosses the placental barrier and is excreted in breast milk.
If your acne does not show improvement within 3 to 4 weeks or if it worsens, it is important to consult your healthcare professional. Keep in mind that acne treatment may take 8 to 12 weeks before significant improvement is seen.
For individuals using the swab, gel, or liquid form of erythromycin:
If your doctor has prescribed another medication to be applied to the skin in conjunction with erythromycin, it is advisable to wait at least 1 hour before applying the second medication. This can help prevent excessive skin irritation. Additionally, using the medications too close together may interfere with their effectiveness.
After applying this medication to the skin, mild stinging or burning sensations may occur and can last for a few minutes or longer.
This medication may cause the skin to become unusually dry, even with regular use. If this occurs, consult your doctor for further guidance.
You may continue to use cosmetics (make-up) while using this acne medication. However, it is recommended to choose "water-based" cosmetics and avoid heavy or frequent application. Excessive use of cosmetics can potentially exacerbate acne. If you have any concerns or questions regarding the use of cosmetics, consult your doctor for advice.
