A recent review of the evidence on #erythromycin for #gastroparesis from the NHS’ Specialist Pharmacy Service: https://www.sps.nhs.uk/articles/what-is-the-optimal-prokinetic-dose-of-erythromycin-in-adults-2/

TL;DR: “Long term oral use is limited by poor tolerance, modest efficacy and the development of tachyphylaxis (rapidly diminishing response to drug therapy).”

My GP prescribed it to me so I’ll give it a shot, but I won’t stay on it. It also interacts with diazepam, to which I’m very sensitive because of physical dependence.
