Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Antibiotics may interfere with the therapeutic effects of fecal microbiota, which contains live bacteria. The mechanism may be related to the antibiotic inactivating the bacteria or reducing bacterial replication. In clinical studies an antibiotic washout period between 24 to 72 hours was required prior to the rectal administration of fecal microbiota.
MANAGEMENT: Although data are limited, it may be prudent to have an antibiotic washout period between 24 to 72 hours prior to administration of the rectal formulation of fecal microbiota. In addition, the manufacturer recommends avoiding oral antibiotics for up to 8 weeks after administration of the rectal formulation of fecal microbiota.

Drug and food interactions
erythromycin food
Applies to: Ilosone (erythromycin)
Food decreases the levels of erythromycin in your body. Take erythromycin on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. However, some erythromycin products may be taken without regard to meals. Ask your healthcare provider about your particular prescription if you are uncertain of how to take it. Grapefruits and grapefruit juice may increase erythromycin levels but how this may affect you is not known. Do not increase or decrease the amount of grapefruit products in your diet without first talking to your doctor.
