Contact your doctor if you develop fainting; sudden, unexplained weight gain; swelling of the legs or ankles; chest pain; or difficulty breathing during treatment with these medications. You should also seek medical attention if you experience potential signs and symptoms of liver damage such as fever, rash, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, upper abdominal pain, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin and eyes.

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.

Ask your healthcare provider about your particular prescription if you are uncertain of how to take it.
