E.E.S 200mg/5ml 100ml Granules: My Experience & Information about Erythromycin Suspension
I was prescribed E.E.S. 200mg/5ml 100ml Granules for my son's respiratory infection. It's an antibiotic suspension of Erythromycin, often used for kids or those with difficulty swallowing pills. I want to share my experience and gather information from others who have used this medication. What should I expect in terms of side effects? Did anyone else have issues with the taste? My son hates the suspension, but we have to keep giving it to him.
Make sure you shake the mixture well before administration. Erythromycin can cause stomach upset and diarrhea. If your kid has more than 2-3 loose stools in a 24 hour period, call your doctor.
Steer clear of other medications that can interfere with the QT interval on an ECG. It's a serious condition that can cause life threatening issues. I had to move my husband from taking erythromycin to another antibiotic due to side effects. If you or your child experience any irregular heartbeat, contact your doctor immediately.
I had a similar prescription for my daughter. The taste was awful, tried mixing it with yogurt, and apple sauce. But she still hated it. She did well with it, but we had to be very careful not to miss a dose.
My doctor prescribed the same for my infection. Make sure that your child is taking the correct dose and that you are not giving them too much. Always check with your healthcare provider to ensure it is okay to use with other medicines.
Does anyone know if it's safe to drink alcohol while taking this?
I had terrible abdominal pain with this medicine. Just a heads up.
