Question
A 4-year-old girl takes four capsules of erythromycin daily. Will this affect her epilepsy medication treatment?
Answer
Erythromycin is an antibiotic that does not cause adverse reactions or drug interactions with epilepsy medication. However, to avoid irritation to the stomach, it is recommended to take the medication after meals. If the patient has poor gastrointestinal health, it is not advisable to use erythromycin as it may irritate the stomach.
