Eryped is a macrolide antibiotic that works by binding to the bacterial ribosome, the cellular component responsible for making proteins. This binding inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the bacteria from multiplying and allowing the body's immune system to eliminate the infection.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Patients should complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve. Eryped may interact with several medications including certain heart drugs and seizure medications, so patients should inform their healthcare provider of all current medications. It should not be used in patients with known macrolide antibiotic allergies.
