Frequently asked questions

What does Erythromycin Lactobionate treat?
Erythromycin Lactobionate (Erythromycin Lactobionate) may be used to treat acne vulgaris, campylobacter infections, chancroid, chlamydia infections, erythrasma, gastroenteritis, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label).
