Erythromycin

[Russ77]

Hi all,

Quick question: doc recently put me on erythromycin (400mg x 2/day) for ocular rosacea. I'm intolerant to doxy as it thins my skin.

I'm currently on day 5 but have not seen a decrease in inflammation of my inner eyelids or normal meibum functioning (doxy used to work within first couple of days).

Anyone who has taken erythromycin before and when did u see improvements? A bit worried here as my options are limited if erythromycin doesn't work.

Many thanks
Russ

Hi Russ,
Minocycline. I've become sensitive to Doxy, and all of it bothers my stomach now, but Minocycline has seemed more tolerable than the others. Think it is a tetracycline. Best of luck.
