A macrolide antibiotic that is converted in the body to its active form erythromycylamine, used to treat community-acquired pneumonia, bronchitis, and skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It works by binding to bacterial ribosomes and inhibiting protein synthesis. It is given once daily and has been largely superseded by newer macrolides like azithromycin and clarithromycin.
