How does erythromycin impact hormonal therapies, such as oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy and what precautions are necessary to prevent reduced efficacy or interactions?
Erythromycin can increase the plasma concentrations of certain hormones, potentially altering the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapies. Patients should monitor for unexpected side effects and consult their healthcare provider for possible adjustments to their hormonal therapy dosages.
