Erythromycin for Bladder Infections: Not Typically Recommended

Erythromycin isn't typically used for bladder infections since causative bacteria are usually resistant. Standard treatments include nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim, or amoxicillin—selected based on bacterial susceptibility.

If prescribed erythromycin for a bladder infection, complete the full course as directed, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence or resistance.
