For topical treatment of acne, pimples, and bacterial skin infections susceptible to Erythromycin.

Erythromycin is a bacteriostatic macrolide antibiotic. However, it may be bactericidal in high concentrations. Although the mechanism by which Erythromycin acts in reducing the inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris is unknown, it is presumably due to the antibiotic action of the drug.

Apply in the morning and evening to the affected areas. Before applying, thoroughly wash with warm water and soap, rinse, and pat dry all areas to be treated. Apply with fingertips or applicator. Wash hands after use. Spread the medication lightly rather than rubbing it in. Acne lesions on the face, neck, shoulders, chest, and back may be treated in this manner. Additional containers may be used if needed. Each container should be used once and discarded.

Safety for use during pregnancy has not been established. Use only when the potential benefits outweigh potential hazards to the fetus. Erythromycin is excreted in breast milk. Exercise caution when administering to a nursing mother.

For external use only. Keep away from eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Use of antibiotics (especially prolonged or repeated therapy) may result in bacterial or fungal overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms. Such overgrowth may lead to a secondary infection. Take appropriate measures if superinfections occur.
