What is Erythromycin Tablet?

Althrocin tablets contain an active ingredient called erythromycin, a medication that belongs to antibiotics. Althrocin can fight against various infections that affect the respiratory system, throat, and skin. Erythromycin can disturb the growth of bacteria, so it helps in resolving symptoms.
Erythromycin belongs to a subcategory known as macrolides. Macrolides prevent bacterial growth and help to remove bacterial colonies from the human body. Antibiotics can only fight against bacterial growth. So treating viral infections with antibiotics will not provide the desired outcome. Therefore it is necessary to consult a doctor to diagnose the condition before using any antibiotic. Erythromycin can disturb bacterial growth within the respiratory system, genitourinary tract, and bacteria that cause infections on the skin.
