Benzamycin

Benzamycin (erythromycin/benzoyl peroxide) is a prescription topical medication that combines an antibiotic with benzoyl peroxide to treat acne. It is commonly prescribed for acne vulgaris to reduce acne-causing bacteria and improve skin clarity. Benzamycin is a combination topical medication containing erythromycin (a macrolide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide.

Benzamycin is used to treat:

• Inflammatory acne lesions, such as pustules and pimples.
• Mild to moderate acne vulgaris

Benzamycin works by combining an antibiotic with benzoyl peroxide, which has antibacterial and mild peeling properties that help kill acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes). Erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide also reduce skin oil (sebum) and release oxygen into the pores to kill bacteria and help unclog pores. With regular use, this medication helps reduce acne severity and skin inflammation.

Benzamycin is effective in treating acne vulgaris by reducing the acne-causing bacteria. Key benefits include:

• Benzamycin combines 5% benzoyl peroxide with 3% erythromycin to kill acne-causing bacteria.
• The medication helps control excessive skin oil, leading to a reduction of further breakouts.

If you are prescribed Benzamycin for acne vulgaris, consider the following guidelines for application:

• Wash the affected area thoroughly and gently pat dry with a clean towel.
• This medication is available in a jar form.
• Take a pea-sized dose of medication from the jar and apply it to the affected area, carefully avoiding the nose, mouth, and other openings.
• If medication gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse immediately with warm water.
• Take a thin layer for the application. Once applied, look in the mirror; if you see a white film, it indicates excessive application.
• Wash your hands after use.

Benzamycin (erythromycin/benzoyl peroxide) should be applied two times a day, morning and evening, or as per your healthcare professional's guidelines.

• If you miss a benzamycin dosage application, use it as soon as you remember.
• If it is close to your next dose, skip the missed one.
• Do not apply in excess as it can cause serious side effects.

Using more than prescribed usually does not cause serious harm, but it may irritate your skin. You can seek medical help or call the Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 if anyone has accidentally swallowed the medication. However, Benzamycin overdose symptoms include:

• Burning or stinging
• Redness or irritation
• Rarely, antibiotic-associated colitis has been reported
• Itching
• Dryness or peeling of treated skin

Before applying Benzamycin (erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide), keep the following precautions in mind:

• Benzamycin is for external use only. Keep away from the nose, eyes, mouth, and lips to avoid any serious side effects.
• Applying too much of the medication can cause skin itching, peeling, drying, and burning.
• Benzamycin may increase sensitivity to sunlight. Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure.
• Do not use on open wounds or sunburned skin.
• Avoid excessive heat and open flames as benzoyl peroxide products may be flammable.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your healthcare provider.
• Consult your doctor if you develop severe or persistent diarrhea while using this medication.
• Erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide can bleach hair and colored fabrics. Avoid getting onto your hair or clothing.
• Do not allow anyone to apply your medication without consulting your doctor.
