Form
Erythromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the macrolide class. This medication is used to treat external eye infections in animals. Do not use it if your pet has a corneal ulcer without veterinary advice. No significant side effects have been reported, but contact your veterinarian in case of severe or persistent reactions. It is important to follow the prescription to avoid antibiotic resistance. Apply the ointment without allowing the tube to touch the eye, and monitor your pet after administration. Store at room temperature, away from children and animals.

Topical medications that could interact with erythromycin include those containing retinoids (such as tretinoin), corticosteroids, or exfoliating agents like salicylic acid. These substances may increase the risk of irritation or reduce the effectiveness of erythromycin.
Erythromycin is contraindicated in cases of allergy to any of its components. It should not be used without veterinary advice if the animal has a corneal ulcer.
Allergic Reactions: Skin rashes, itching, or, rarely, severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock. Local Irritations: When applied topically, redness or irritation may occur.
Follow the prescription until completion to prevent antibiotic resistance and safeguard your pet’s health against resistant bacteria.
