I'm currently taking erythromycin tablets for my acne and I'm curious about how long they take to digest. Can you tell me more about that?

Erythromycin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat acne. The digest time, also known as the absorption time, of erythromycin tablets can vary depending on several factors, such as the dosage form, individual metabolism, and food intake. Typically, erythromycin tablets are absorbed into the bloodstream within 1-4 hours after oral administration. However, the exact digest time may range from 30 minutes to 6 hours. Here's a rough breakdown of what you can expect: - 30 minutes to 1 hour: Erythromycin starts getting absorbed into the bloodstream. - 1-2 hours: Peak absorption levels are reached. - 2-4 hours: Erythromycin starts taking effect against acne-causing bacteria. - 4-6 hours: The antibiotic is fully absorbed and distributed throughout the body. Keep in mind that these times are approximate and may vary from person to person.

I'm really struggling with acne and pigmentation issues that I've had for the past two months. My doctor put me on zithrox 250 three times a week for three months, and I'm using acnicin sunscreen and acne uv gel with SPF 30, plus a hyperpigmentation cream with tyrodin, kojic acid, arbutin, vitamin C, and vitamin E. The acne's cleared up, but I still have some marks and scars left, especially on my cheeks. Any advice on what I can do next?
