Who wrote this shit?!  Erythromycin was developed in Australia by the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories, who registered it under the trademark ERYC in 1931! --RDF

I added a sentence from pyloric stenosis about a potential link in late pregnancy and infancy between erythromycin and pyloric stenosis. I'm not a medical expert and merely noticed that this was in contradiction to the statement in the introduction of this page to the effect that erythromycin is harmless in pregnancy. Someone with medical training and/or additional sources should review this addition and clarify the text. -- Linac1  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linac1 (talk • contribs) 02:21, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I take Bayer's Ilosone, which is just a brand name for Erythromycin, because I am allergic to penicilin, but I have never had any stomach side effects. Is this documented??!?!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.80.36.13 (talk) 19:07, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The book "An introduction to genetic analysis" by Griffiths mentions that Erythromycin blocks the exit tunnel of the ribosome and thus interferes with 
elongation. Is this correct?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.103.172 (talk) 11:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The main article says this antibiotic has a 2.5 hour half-life whereas the info table suggests it has a 1.5 hour half-life. Since I'm assuming they refer to the same meaning of half-life it would appear that one of them is wrong (although I have no idea which). -87.194.113.90 (talk) 11:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither's wrong, but both are too definitive. Half-life depends on many things, including route of administration and host factors such as liver dysfunction.  In normal patients after a 500 mg oral dose of enteric coated tablets, the elimination half-life was 2.0 +/- 0.7 hours.  In normal patients after a 500 mg IV dose, the elimination half-life was 1.6 +/- 0.7 hours. In patients with alcoholic liver disease given a 500 mg oral dose of enteric coated tablets, the elimination half-life was 3.2 +/- 0.5 hours..KW Hall, CH Nightingale, M Gibaldi, E Nelson, TR Bates, and AR DiSanto, "Pharmacokinetics of erythromycin in normal and alcoholic liver disease subjects", Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1982, 22: 321-325.  So for erythromycin (and for that matter any drug) no single number should be cited as "the" half-life. - Nunh-huh 11:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Erythromycin was once a $4 generic at Walmart, and available without prescription for veterinary use. Now (late 2012) it seems to have disappeared. Is it still on the market? Did it become very expensive for some reason?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.233.30 (talk) 00:36, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The synthesis section discusses the total synthesis and uses parenthetical numbers to reference intermediates.  This would be much clearer with a figure or something to make these numbers better than arbitrary... Jazzlw (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 06:42, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
