Effectiveness
How Benzamycin Affects PatientsErythromycin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It has been shown to be effective against many types of bacteria, but it is important to do a test to check if the bacteria is resistant before taking it. Taking erythromycin with sulfonamides has been shown to be effective against some strains of Haemophilus influenzae that are resistant to erythromycin alone. However, some Staphylococci may become resistant to erythromycin and/or sulfonamides during treatment. Taking erythromycin may also cause pseudomembr
How Benzamycin works in the bodyErythromycin is an antibiotic that works by preventing bacteria from making proteins. It binds to the ribosome, which processes the proteins, and stops the bacteria from producing more. This keeps the bacteria from multiplying and causes them to die, treating bacterial infections. Erythromycin works on many types of bacteria, making it a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
When to interrupt dosage
The measure of Benzamycin is dependent upon the determined sickness, including Chlamydia Trachomatis, penicillins and Syphilis. The dosage also varies as per the form of administration (e.g. Granule, for suspension or Tablet, film coated - Oral) specified in the table underneath.Condition

Benzamycin Reviews: What are patients saying about Benzamycin?
5Patient Review
4/6/2008 I found that my skin dried out a bit when I first started using this product, but it improved after a few weeks.
5Patient Review
1/27/2013 I've used this medication for about five years now, and it's done wonders for my acne. I was getting big welts all over my face, as well as scarring, but this has helped to clear things up significantly. In addition to this medication, my dermatologist recommended using a day cream called retisola to help with dryness and a pill called minocycline to help with inflammation and prevent new breakouts.
5Patient Review
10/30/2017 This has been a life-saver for me, I've been using it consistently for over a year now and have no intention of stopping anytime soon!
4.7Patient Review
12/2/2007 The only issue I have with this product is that it dries my eyes out when used as directed. Otherwise, it's great!
3.7Patient Review
9/21/20072.7Patient Review
5/7/2010 I've been using this for a while now, and unfortunately I haven't seen much improvement. If anything, my skin has gotten worse. The only silver lining is that pimples seem to heal faster when on this medication, but more keep popping up.
