Both my boys have it (think it's an alternative to penicillin, isn't it? DS1 is possibly allergic to penicillin, so they give both EM -I think the name of the antibiotic they get is Bactrim).
Neither has had any side effects though.
DD is currently having EES (one of those E's stands for Erythromycin), she has had looser stools but that is it. She has been on it for 2 days now and is on a stronger dose
DS and I were on it last year (I think it was late september, I was 16wks preg with DD anyway) when hubby got whooping cough. Only thing I noticed was that DS was more unsettled than normal, and both of us had the runs while on it. But we both had the flu pretty bad at the time too, so it could have been from that and not the EM
we have never had it but my friends DD had it for tonsilitis and ended up in hospital vomitting blood!
SoI wouldnt be too keen to take it if it were prescribed. I think I would prefer an alternative
