Erytop Lotion
Introduction
Erytop Lotion is an antibiotic that fights bacteria. It is used to treat acne, which appears as spots or pimples on your face, chest or back. This medicine works by attacking the bacteria that cause these pimples.
Erytop Lotion is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine. It should not be applied to broken or damaged skin. Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get it in these areas. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. Do not stop using it as soon as your acne starts to get better. Ask your doctor when you should stop treatment.
Common side effects like minor itching, burning, or redness of the skin and oily skin may be seen in some people. These are usually temporary and resolve on their own. Consult your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
It is a safe medicine, but you should inform your doctor if you have any problems with your bowels (intestines). Also, inform the doctor if you have ever had bloody diarrhea caused by taking antibiotics or if you are using any other medicines to treat skin conditions. Consult your doctor about using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Usually, Erytop Lotion should be used for a maximum of 12 weeks. You may need to use more than one tube of Erytop Lotion during each course of treatment.
Q. What does Erytop Lotion do for acne?
Erytop Lotion treats and prevents acne by stopping the growth of bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) which causes it. Acne is an extremely common skin condition. During adolescence, grease glands in the skin produce extra grease in response to normal amounts of sex hormones in the body which can cause blocked pores (i.e., blackheads). When this happens, the pores are invaded by bacteria. As a result, certain chemicals are produced which go into deeper parts of the skin to produce red spots filled with pus, called acne.
Q. Is Erytop Lotion effective?
Erytop Lotion is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Erytop Lotion too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. Can Erytop Lotion cause skin rash?
The common side effects of Erytop Lotion are irritation, swollen, pale red bumps and dryness. A scaly skin rash may occur rarely with the use of Erytop Lotion. You must consult your doctor if it bothers you.
Q. What precautions do I need to take while using Erytop Lotion?
Be careful not to get Erytop Lotion into your eyes or mouth. If you happen to get it in your eyes, rinse off with plenty of water immediately and contact your doctor. You must not use Erytop Lotion if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Tell your doctor if you notice any allergic reaction while using it for the first time. Inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines regularly, to prevent any allergic reaction with other medicines. Do not cover the area being treated with Erytop Lotion with a bandage, as this may increase absorption of this medicine and increase the side effects.

Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should use Erytop Lotion only if prescribed by the doctor.
