DESCRIPTION
Erythromycin Tablets, USP are an antibacterial product containing
erythromycin, USP, in a unique,
nonenteric film coating for oral administration. Erythromycin Tablets
are available in two strengths
containing either 250 mg or 500 mg of erythromycin base.
Erythromycin is produced by a strain of _Saccharopolyspora erythraea_
(formerly _Streptomyces erythraeus_)
and belongs to the macrolide group of antibiotics. It is basic and
readily forms salts with acids.
Erythromycin is a white to off-white powder, slightly soluble in
water, and soluble in alcohol,
chloroform, and ether. Erythromycin is known chemically as (3R*, 4S*,
5S*, 6R*, 7R*, 9R*, 11R*,
12R*, 13S*,
14R*)-4-[(2,6-dideoxy-3-C-methyl-3-O-methyl-α-L-_ribo_-hexopyranosyl)oxy]-14-ethyl-

Orally administered erythromycin base and its salts are readily
absorbed in the microbiologically active
form. Interindividual variations in the absorption of erythromycin
are, however, observed, and so
