Best Answer

Although some in vitro data indicate synergism between macrolide antibiotics and penicillins, other in vitro data indicate antagonism. When these drugs are given together, neither has predictable therapeutic efficacy. Data are available for erythromycin, although theoretically this interaction could occur with any macrolide. Except for monitoring of the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy, no special precautions appear to be necessary.

NOTE: Always take medications as prescribed and directed by your physician, with any advice from your pharmacist.

Yes, erythromycin is very similar to penicillin, in the types of bacterial infections it can fight. Erythromycin is used in patients who are allergic to penicillin, primarily.

Typically, though, a different antibiotic is chosen, given the similarities of the two drugs.
