 Erythromycin? Erthyromycin is a common misspelling of erythromycin.
 
Erythromycin, a common antibiotic, can be taken by mouth, applied topically, or administered as an injection. The exact form a person is prescribed will depend on the condition being treated. The dose, too, will vary based on factors such as age, weight, and if other medicines are being taken.
 
This prescription drug can treat several different bacterial infections. However, it is not right for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease, or people taking other drugs, such as calcium channel blockers, may need to take a medication other than erythromycin.
