Erythromycin Stearate is a macrolide antibiotic used for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is an esterified derivative of erythromycin, formulated to improve acid stability and gastrointestinal tolerance when administered orally. Erythromycin Stearate is primarily used to combat infections caused by susceptible strains of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative organisms, including respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and sexually transmitted infections.
At BluepillExpress, we specialize in third-party manufacturing of Erythromycin Stearate tablets and suspensions, tailored to meet international pharmacopeial standards and export-grade quality requirements. We offer complete end-to-end support, from formulation development and regulatory compliance to private label packaging and global logistics.

Pharmacological Classification
- Drug Class: Macrolide Antibiotic
- Therapeutic Use: Antibacterial treatment for respiratory, skin, ear, and soft tissue infections
- Dosage Forms Available: Tablets, Oral Suspension (Dry Syrup)
- Route of Administration: Oral
Mechanism of Action
Erythromycin Stearate, a derivative of erythromycin, works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible microorganisms, preventing translocation of peptides during translation, thereby halting bacterial growth.
It exhibits bacteriostatic activity, though it may be bactericidal at higher concentrations or against highly susceptible organisms.
Clinical Indications
Erythromycin Stearate is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by erythromycin-sensitive organisms, such as:
- Upper and lower respiratory tract infections (e.g., pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia)
- Skin and soft tissue infections
- Otitis media
- Sinusitis
- Diphtheria
- Pertussis (whooping cough)
- Erythrasma
- Syphilis (in penicillin-allergic patients)
- Campylobacter enteritis
- Acne vulgaris (long-term use)
It is particularly useful in penicillin-allergic patients and in treating atypical pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Legionella pneumophila.
