Uses of Eltocin Syrup

  • Bacterial infection
  • Chest infection
  • Throat infection
  • Skin infection

Benefits of Eltocin Syrup

In Bacterial infection
Eltocin stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply, so the body's defences can clear the infection.
In Chest infection
Eltocin treats chest infections, including the 'atypical' bacteria some other antibiotics miss, easing the cough and fever.
In Throat infection
Eltocin clears the bacteria behind a sore throat and tonsillitis, and is often chosen for people allergic to penicillin.
In Skin infection
Eltocin treats bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissue, reducing redness, swelling and pain.

How Eltocin Syrup works

Erythromycin stops the bacteria causing your infection from making the proteins they need to multiply.

How to take Eltocin Syrup

Shake the bottle well before each dose and measure it with the cup, spoon or dropper supplied — a kitchen spoon is not an accurate measure. Take it with or just after food. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, hearing disturbance and heart rhythm changes. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Eltocin Syrup

Most side effects of Eltocin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • Stomach pain
  • Loose motions
  • Vomiting
  • Altered taste

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
