Hi.. my 9week old son was diagnosed with delayed gastric emptying.. we are going to try .05cc of erythromycin 3 times a day… for those of you that also use it, when do you give it? like do u space it out a certain period of time from their bottle or what? Doc didnt giv me directions on this… also do u keep it refridgerated?

We just give Bryce his Erythromycin with his Prevacid 3 times a day. We give him the medicine on an empty tummy (like 30 minutes before we feed him), just so there’s less chance of him throwing up the meds. So we give meds around 8:00, 2:00, and 8:00 (or so). Erythromycin doesn’t have to be refrigerated, but the pharmacist told us it can get a bad taste if you leave it out of the fridge. This doesn’t matter for us since Bryce gets meds through his feeding tube.
