About Erythromycin and Benzoyl Peroxide
What is this medication? Erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide is a topical prescription medication specifically formulated to treat acne vulgaris. This combination therapy works by utilizing two different mechanisms to clear the skin. Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that targets and inhibits the growth of bacteria known to cause acne. Benzoyl peroxide complements this by acting as an antibacterial agent and a mild keratolytic, which helps to dry out the skin and remove the buildup of oils and dead skin cells that clog pores.
By using these two ingredients together, the medication is more effective at reducing inflammatory acne lesions and redness than either component would be on its own. It is typically applied once or twice daily to the affected areas of the skin after cleansing. Over several weeks of consistent use, the treatment helps to decrease the number of active pimples and prevents future breakouts from forming, leading to a clearer and smoother complexion.

How to read this:plans on the same formulary share tier + PA rules. Your specific plan's copay depends on (a) the tier above, (b) your plan's cost-share for that tier, (c) whether you're in the initial coverage phase or past the 2026 $2,000 out-of-pocket cap. For your exact plan, check its Summary of Benefits or log in to your Medicare.gov account. Copay cards don't apply to Medicare (federal law).
