Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Read an interesting article on how Erythromycin (and other macrolide antibiotics) can cause subclinical mitochondrial defects to manifest as disease. I took *lots* of erythromycin in my childhood, due to chronic tonsillitis and allergy to penicillin. We've heard about cholesterol-lowering drugs causing myopathy. And anti-HIV drugs can cause mitochondrial disease as well. So I created a poll - for privacy reasons, I listed all three drugs together and email addresses are hid, just yes/no as to whether one's taken any of these drugs. Hopefully none of us are on all three types of medications Take care, RH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
