Tonefreak Severe
Originally appeared in: Guitarist 324, January 2010, p137
A severely good distortion from the Californian firm by Dave Durban
In issue 322, we awarded Tone Freak's Abunai 2 overdrive our Guitarist Choice award. So impressed were we that we had to have first dibs on its latest distortion, the Severe. The bronze-finished, hand-built pedal is Tone Freak's answer for heavy distortion, but actually offers a whole spectrum of gain tones.
The Severe has a three-way toggle switch that offers asymmetrical, symmetrical and no-clipping options. There's also a three-way 'brite' switch that dictates the level of brightness available from the tone control — especially useful for those with varying amp set-ups. Additionally there are level and gain controls, plus a bright blue on/off LED. Power is via a single 9V battery or a 2.1mm centre negative pin power adaptor (not included).
With the gain control creeping over halfway, the Severe delivers a tight, musical distortion that will set sparks flying for heavy rock and metal players alike. It possesses a sweet American overdrive core, and cuts like a muscular British amp on 11, which sets the scene for incredible metal rhythm versatility and brooding Van Halen-style soloing. There's no flubbing-out in the low end or definition loss with lower tunings. But attenuate the gain and we get one of the most musical American-indie overdrive tones around.
A distortion that offers players of a heavier persuasion an all-encompassing and musical option for their rhythm and lead styles. Try one!
The Bottom Line
We like: Build quality; incredible high-gain abilities; musical American-style crunch; price
We dislike: Nothing

Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Fulton Financial FULT.
What's Happening
The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 15 cents per share. On Friday, Fulton Financial will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 15 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own FULT as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 15 cents dividend payout for every share that they own.
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on January 13, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

Aston Martin 007 Editions are not-so-secret James Bond tie-ins
Aston Martin has revealed two new special (agent) cars to celebrate the release of No Time to Die, the latest in the James Bond film series.
Created by in-house bespoke division Q by Aston Martin, the limited-edition 007 Edition DBS Superleggera and 007 Edition Vantage are part of the British sports car brand's collaborations with Bond producers Eon Productions.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThe DBS Superleggera features in the latest Bond film, along with the Aston Martin V8 that inspired the 007 Edition Vantage, the iconic DB5 and the upcoming Valhalla hypercar.
The Vantage V8 pays homage to the Aston Martin V8 which appeared in 1987's The Living Daylights and which Daniel Craig drives in No Time to Die.
Finished in Cumberland Grey, it features unique exterior styling including a bespoke mesh grille with chrome bezel that references the V8's front end and a dashed yellow diffuser inspired by the hazard stripes on the film car's rockets. Inside, there's Obsidian black leather upholstery, 007 branding and several of truly geeky nods to the film. As well as a gadget plaque listing the film car's special features and crosshairs on the gear paddles, the sun visors feature an embroidered radio station frequency – 96.60 – which was the Russian police frequency Bond used to aid his escape in The Living Daylights. And the seatbacks carry the outline of cello 'f holes' inspired by the famous downhill cello case chase from the film.
If you want to fully live out your Timothy Dalton fantasies, you can even spec a limited edition set of skis and ski rack – referencing the "winterised" V8 saloon from the film.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdJust 100 examples of the 007 Edition Vantage will be built, with prices starting at £161,000.
Even fewer 007 Edition DSB Superleggeras will be built. Just 25 are set to be produced, each costing £279,025.
The special edition car retains all the mechanical elements of the standard DBS Superleggera, which means a 715bhp, 664lb ft, 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 - enough to get any secret agent out of trouble.
Special exterior touches include Ceramic Grey paint, black tinted carbon fibre on the roof, mirror caps, splitter, diffuser and rear spoiler, gloss black diamond turned 21-inch alloys and 007 badges on the side and rear.
Inside the "brooding" interior with red flashes around the black leather, are subtle 007 badges on door cards, armrest buckle badge and subwoofer cover and a sill plaque.

I am often asked by beginners about how to evaluate a Yoga Teacher?
The following is the CALM checklist. These factors are basic criteria that your Yoga Instructor should meet before you continue on to a second Yoga class.
CALM gets its name from four main factors: Communication, Assist, Listen, and Modification. For the right Yoga teacher, you should be answering with a yes to all questions.
Does your Yoga teacher talk to you, and other students, in a manner of mutual respect? Can you ask a question during class time?
Does your teacher show compassion for you and other students? Does your Yoga teacher take the time to lead you through a guided meditation or relaxation? Meditation and relaxation are major aspects of Yoga practice.
There are Yoga teachers who just want to get "their workout" done. Beware of Yoga teachers, who are so important, they don't have time for you.
Some students love this air of superiority and, unfortunately, some people love abuse. If you want to learn Yoga, you need an open line of communication with your Yoga teacher.
Does your teacher care about your form? Will your teacher give you verbal or physical assist during your Yoga class? Are props encouraged in your Yoga classes?
Some students never have major problems with alignment and some do, but if your teacher doesn't give verbal cues, what does that tell you?
Does your Yoga teacher take the time to listen to your feedback? Is your teacher "in the moment" with the class?
Once in a while, there is a Yoga instructor who runs, The-its-all-about-me-show. You are not going to learn anything from this type of teaching. Beginners will be put at risk, trying to keep up with a seasoned Yoga teacher who doesn't explain anything.
Does your Yoga teacher allow modifications and props? If your teacher discourages props, you are in the wrong place.
Some students will need props for life depending upon their range of motion. Just because a teacher can do a posture without props, doesn't mean every student can.
Stay away from abusive Yoga teachers, and if you are attracted to abuse, there is always professional help. Some students crave the stern, but loving parent types. They will push you harder, but how much pushing do you really need?
Respect is a two-way street, and you deserve as much respect as your Yoga teacher does. Let common sense be your guide. You should feel good after a Yoga class, and you might even feel muscle soreness days after a vigorous class.
Make sure your Yoga teacher meets the above criteria before making a commitment.

Seychelles is a collection of 115 islands spattered across the Indian Ocean and offers the perfect chance to wash away your worries in the turquoise waters and powdery white sand beaches. The best thing to do for a perfect getaway to an exotic island is usually to just do nothing; lie on the beach, soak in the warm sun, enjoy a cocktail and a good book and just relax. But apart from this obvious lazing about in vacation mode, there are certain things you can do in these beautiful tropical islands to make your vacation truly a trip of a lifetime.
Diving and snorkeling
When visiting an exotic tropical island, discovering the local marine life is a must. The waters are rich in over a 100 species of tropical fish and you can swim with sea turtles, bat fish, butterfly fish, parrot fish, and if you visit in October you can even chance upon a whale shark. One of the best snorkeling opportunities is offered by the Sainte Anne National Marine Park, Baie Ternay Marine Park and Anse Major Beach at Mahe Island, among many other underwater wonderlands.
Island hopping
To add more excitement and dimension to your Sychelles experience, be sure to draw up an island hopping itinerary. There are many travel options available to take you to neighboring islands such as plane, boat, or even helicopter rides, but the best way is probably by air which helps to decrease travel time, and also gives you a chance to take in the breathtaking views. Three islands you absolutely must visit are Mahe, Praslin and La Digue.
Spa day
A vacation is not a vacation without a relaxing massage to help release all kinds of tension from your body, mind and soul. Whether you book a couple's massage, a spa date with your girlfriends or a solo experience, there is no best way to relax than to be pampered by the best professional therapists with a magic touch. There are resorts that offer these services under the stars and by the sea. The best Spas to try are the Four Seasons and Banyan Tree.
Take a Hike
A great way to explore all that nature has to offer on these immensely green islands is to pick one of the many trails and go for a hike. You will come in contact with many wildlife species and will be astounded by all it has to offer, and the music of nature and the wild scents are almost meditative, making you forget all your cares. Some of the trails you can choose are Copolia in Mahe, Glacis Noire in Praslin and Morne Blanc in Mahe. Make sure to climb to the peak of Morne Blanc so you can take in the majestic views of the water rolled out in front of you.
Botanical Gardens, Mahe
The Seychelles National Botanical Gardens at Mahe's capital of Victoria is the perfect way to escape for the nature-lover. It is one of Seychelles oldest National Monuments dating back more than a century. It is rife with old and widespread exotic plant species spread across 5 acres of landscaped and perfectly maintained tropical gardens. Many of the spice and fruit trees consist of exclusive species found nowhere else in the world. The most popular attraction are the ancient giant turtles some of which are over 150 years old.
Valee de Mai Nature Reserve
Experience nature in its most raw form; don't miss out on Seychelles' various nature reserves, namely the Valee de Mai Nature Reserve and Aride Island Nature Reserve. The Velee de Mai Nature Reserve is a natural palm forest at the center of Praslin Island reserved almost completely in its natural state. It is home to the botanical wonder of coco de mer trees, and the endangered Black Parrot, and the beautiful forest was once believed to be the original site of the Garden of Eden, a true heaven on earth
Enjoy the sun
Whether we come from humid climates or not, with our busy lives of rigid 9-5 routines, we never take out the time to appreciate the simple things in life. Make sure you make your vacation in the tropical islands a true getaway by enjoying your time in the sun, and making sure to watch the sun rise and set as much as you can. The watery horizon will make these experiences even more magical and this is something you can neither recreate, nor forget.
Bask in all of what Seychelles has to offer, so that you go home completely relaxed and rejuvenated, without any regrets to make you feel like your vacation was incomplete but at the same time feeling the need to go back and do it all again.

Ah... I love being me. I love my life. I love living so close to a major space flight center. I love my passion for space, and even more, I love, love, LOVE being surrounded by hundreds of people with the same desire to support exploration and collaboration in the name of human spaceflight.
My first NASA Tweetup was truly amazing! Our Twitter group got a personal message from the crew of Expedition 22 on the International Space Station, met an astronaut and the king of the flight controllers, witnessed live communications from Shuttle Mission Control and cruised the major astronaut training facilities, even seeing some new AsCans hard at work!
I know I am not alone in profusely thanking all of the event organizers and "NASA Ambassadors" who badged, orientated, and guided all of us roaming twitterers -- whether you only drove a few hours (yeah, I was the slacker of the group) or flew 5,000 miles from Brazil (seriously!), they made everyone feel special and welcome! Kudos to all of you for your hard work, you should be very proud!
Reporter's mission briefing pad, badge & event program
Over the next week, I'll be sharing videos on my YouTube Channel and also loads of fun photos of all my new buddies... BUT FIRST...
It was my very great honor and pleasure to meet Tim Reynolds at the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, where he serves as the Operations Control Center Supervisor – and has seen many an astronaut come and go for simulation training! (For those who aren't familiar with the SVMF, I have picture galleries of both the aerial views and floor level views from my previous visit there... and not much changed, so I won't bore anyone with repeats.)
Tim Reynolds, SVMF Operations Control
We rather interfered with their workday, but everyone was very generous with their time. Tim in particular was great sport for posing with his favorite creation (done aside from his usual job and in his spare time) –- a beautiful and moving astronaut memorial. Created with help from NASA graphic design artist Vicki Cantrell, this collage commemorates the lives lost in Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia.
I remembered Tim Reynolds from the Johnson Space Center magazine I read last year while in the Lunar Gravity Study at UTMB, where he was the focus of an employee spotlight article. Interestingly, he mentioned that if he weren't working for JSC, he might be in Colorado or New Mexico... and now that's precisely where he is retiring in about 2 weeks!
After nearly 15 years of service at NASA for our nation's space program, he will be free to cavort amongst the Rocky Mountains to his heart's content. It will be a loss to the SMVF, but well-deserved rest for him and certainly Colorado's gain... thanks for the tour and good luck, Tim!

The Higher Education Opportunity Act of August 14, 2008 includes provisions that campuses participating in Title IV programs publish a code of conduct which describes prohibited practices related to Title IV loan programs. Prior to this, the CSU coded memorandum "Student Loan Programs – Administrative Safeguards" (AA-2007-12) dated May 3, 2007 has been the standard campuses have followed.
Conflict of Interest
To avoid any conflict of interest with the responsibilities of a CSU employee with respect to student loans, the CSU code of conduct prohibits the following:
- Revenue sharing arrangements with any lender
- The solicitation or acceptance of gifts from a lender, guarantor or servicer by anyone with responsibilities with respect to loans at the institution
- Receipt of any fees, payments or other financial benefits (including a stock purchase option) by anyone with responsibilities with respect to loans from a lender as compensation for any type of consulting arrangement or contract to provide services to a lender or on behalf of a lender relating to education loans
- The assignment of a first-time borrower's loan to a particular lender or refusing to certify or otherwise delay certification of any loan regardless of the lender or guaranty agency the borrower selects
- The acceptance of any funds to be used for private education loans in exchange for the institution providing concessions to the private lender
- Requesting or accepting assistance with call center staffing or financial aid office staffing from any lender
- Any employee with responsibilities with respect to financial assistance at the institution who serves on an advisory board or commission of a lender or guarantor may not accept anything of value from the lender or guarantor except reimbursement for the reasonable expenses of serving on the board or commission.

In Amazon's The Man in the High Castle, an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's alternate history novel of the same name, it's 1962, the Allies lost World War II, and the two major Axis powers have divvied up North America between them. The narrative revolves around film canisters containing a revolutionary re-writing of history. That notion – of a dangerous film retelling history – is woven into the fabric of the show's title sequence, created by Elastic.
The first sounds are of a film projector starting, and the sequence presents a number of images with the flickering and uneven style of projected celluloid. We move over a map of North America as monuments have combat footage projected on and through them. Lady Liberty, Joan of Arc, and the eagle blend together effortlessly to establish believable Nazi–American iconography. The map-making imagery is also fascinating here, recounting the outcome of World War II using the visual language borrowed from numerous war movies, showing lines moving on maps and the shifting lines of power.
But the most interesting, and most poetically resonant, choice made in this sequence is the use of "Edelweiss", sung in heavily accented English by an almost whispering female voice. Ironically, this most famous "Austrian" song actually isn't Austrian at all – it's an American song, written by Jewish-American songwriters Rodgers and Hammerstein for The Sound of Music in 1959. That sort of play would no doubt appeal to Nazis, relaxing in occupied America. But in this alternate historical context, for an American to sing, "Bless my homeland forever" is downright tragic.
The key emotion conveyed by the title sequence is one of yearning, of doomed nostalgia, and the quiet struggle to maintain one's identity in the face of huge historical forces. This brilliantly anticipates one of the major emotional themes of the show, and frames what follows in that elegiac mood.
Winner of the 2016 Emmy in Outstanding Main Title Design.
A discussion with Creative Director PATRICK CLAIR of Elastic.
What did you do to immerse yourself in the world that Philip K. Dick created for The Man in the High Castle?
Patrick: The team from Scott Free reached out to us and shared some information on the show and source material. Like many people, I'm a huge Philip K. Dick fan – and screen adaptations of his work have shaped my love of cinema, from Blade Runner to Total Recall – so the chance to work on such a project was exciting.
The Man in the High Castle title sequence posed an interesting challenge. Dick's story is complex and layered and the titles really needed to do some heavy lifting in terms of establishing the concept of an alternate history and timeline. They also needed to establish the geography of a USA divided into two conquered states, poised in an emerging cold war between Japan and the Third Reich. At the same time, they could not get bogged down in informational or expositional storytelling. Like all main titles, these needed be seductive and poetic, evoking the characters and drawing the audience into the world of the show.
There are a lot of different concepts that went into this sequence. Could you walk us through them?
Patrick: We'd been playing with projection concepts for a while, and we immediately saw that projection could be a perfect mechanism for conveying the clash between our world and the alternate history of the story. The projection also brought to life the film reel that plays a central role in the story, as well as providing a way to delve into military and map graphics while still maintaining an evocative filmic aesthetic. We pitched the basic concept to the show team, and they backed us all the way.
Patrick: The next part was interesting. We looked at a range of iconic American symbols and the way they contrasted with Nazi iconography. There's a really interesting relationship there between eagles, colours, statues – it's quite unsettling to see how the Nazis polluted these symbols with such an amoral legacy. We tried to walk a fine line of evoking these visual relationships in a way that was emotional but also respectful of grand icons like Lady Liberty or Mount Rushmore. The projected imagery was based on stock, but heavily manipulated to fit the compositions. The most important thing to me is the relationship between the elements, and the team worked hard to recreate historic footage in precise configurations to hit our design targets.
The map at the center of the sequence mixes topography and topology – it establishes the setting as well as the events that created the universe of the series. What inspired this approach and what challenges did it pose?
Patrick: For the map, we tried to keep things simple. The image of the US cleaved in two is pretty powerful by itself, and we wanted to give the audience a chance to absorb that before moving into more provocative imagery.
Patrick: Next, on Mount Rushmore, we tried to get the paratroopers to look like tears rolling down the faces of the presidents, as if they're mourning for what could have been – our reality. But in their world, the great American dream has been hijacked and destroyed.
Patrick: The eagle is probably my favourite frame, the beautiful organic shapes of the grand American creature, cut into geometric slices by the oppressive graphic slashes of the Nazi symbol, was our way of visually expressing the violence, tragedy, and disruption of the invasion.
Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty are two of the most recognizable monuments in the world, but what was the basis for the woman on the horse?
Patrick: The final statue is nonspecific, but it was designed to evoke Joan of Arc. This story is really about a tough, resourceful female revolutionary faced with overwhelming opposing choices. The horse-rider is trapped between images of east and west USA, a symbol for her choices in the story between sides of the battle, companions, and the country's future.
Let's talk about the main title theme, "Edelweiss." It's not what most viewers might expect, but it creates an eerie contrast with the visuals. At what point in the process did you know that this was going to be the song?
Patrick: Early in the process, Scott Free suggested the "Edelweiss" track, which we loved. Oftentimes, it's tempting to go large on a soundtrack. I just loved how sparse and quiet this track is. It's emotional because you know the tune, but unsettling for its hauntingly sparse recreation.
Who did you work with on this title sequence and how big was the production team?
Patrick: We created the sequence with a moderately-sized team at Elastic, many of the same designers and animators that I work with across my projects: Paul Kim, Raoul Marks, Kevin Heo, Sam Cividanis.
The amazingly talented Jose Limon, also from our Daredevil team, sculpted many of the models you see – he has a great touch for organic shapes and the human form.
Raoul lead the animation, primarily working in Cinema 4D with some Maya and ZBrush artists in support.
The indomitable Jamie McBriety produced the project, with EP Jennifer Sofio Hall overseeing us.
Support for Art of the Title comes from
Maxon's Cinema 4D Features an Unmatched Live 3D Pipeline with Adobe After Effects CC.

The Celtis Laevigata is commonly known as the Hackberry, Lowland Hackberry, Palo Blanco, Southern Hackberry, Sugar Hackberry, Sugarberry as well as Texas Sugarberry.
The accepted scientific name for sugarberry is Celtis laevigata L. . Recognized varieties are as follows : C. l. var. texana (Scheele) Sarg. - Texas sugar hackberry C. l. var. brachyphylla Sarg. - Uvalde sugar hackberry C. l. var. anomala Sarg. - scrub sugar hackberry C. l. var. brevipes Sarg.) - Arizona sugar hackberrySugarberry is native to the southeastern part of the United States, ranging south from southeastern Virginia to southern Florida; west to central Texas and including northeastern Mexico; north to western Oklahoma and southern Kansas; and east to Missouri, extreme southern Illinois, and Indiana. It occurs locally in Maryland .In many areas, sugarberry occurs as scattered individuals. After disturbances, a seral sugarberry-American elm (Ulmus americana)-green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) forest cover type may develop, with sugarberry as a codominant. This type intermixes with sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua)-willow oak (Quercus phellos) types, which contain essentially the same species in different densities. The sugarberry-American elm-green ash type occurs most often on the central coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico, heavily concentrated on the Mississippi alluvial plain, and along major river basins .

AMD has just introduced its new Ryzen 7 4000H-series mobile APUs as well as the Radeon RX 5600M GPUs and Dell is among the first companies to use both it its new high-performance gaming notebook. Given its ingredients, Dell's G5 15 Special Edition Ryzen promises to be one of the most powerful gaming laptop in its class this spring.
The flagship configuration of the Dell G5 15 Special Edition Ryzen will incorporate AMD's Ryzen 7 4800H CPU with eight Zen 2 cores clocked at 2.9 – 4.2 GHz and integrated graphics as well as AMD's Radeon RX 5600M discrete GPU (Navi architecture), which promise to deliver desktop-class performance in games. Like other AMD Ryzen 7 4000H-based laptops, the Dell G5 15 SE uses AMD's SmartShift technology to dynamically shift power between the CPU and the GPU for additional performance. Meanwhile, the PC comes with the Alienware Command Center software that allows users to tweak performance and customize gaming profiles. Furthermore, the machine has a serious cooling system with multiple air inlets to help keep low thermals and ensure stable and consistent operation.
To experience all the performance and capabilities that AMD's latest CPU and GPU have to offer, Dell equipped its G5 15 SE with a 15.6-inch Full-HD panel with a variable refresh rate of up to 144 Hz supported by the FreeSync technology, which should pair up very well with the targetted GPU class. Furthermore, the system comes equipped with an audio subsystem enhanced with Nahimic 3D Audio software. Last but not least, the laptop has a gaming keyboard with highlighted WASD keys as well as a numpad.
In a bid to enable gamers to store as many titles as possible locally, the Dell G5 15 Special Edition Ryzen comes with an up to 1 TB SSD as well as a 2 TB 5400 RPM hard drive. In addition, expect the system to feature loads of DDR4 RAM. As for I/O, the system features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GbE, USB-A, USB-C, mDP, HDMI, SD card reader, a 3.5-mm audio jack, and a webcam with IR sensors.
Dell will make its G5 15 Special Edition Ryzen gaming laptop available in early April. Entry-level configurations presumably based on the Ryzen 5 4600H (six Zen 2 cores) with an integrated Radeon GPU (384 SPs) will cost $799, whereas other machines will naturally be more expensive.

Sounds nice, but a Dell system with an AMD CPU ?
I'd probably be constantly wondering what they did to gimp it -
olde94 - Tuesday, January 7, 2020 - link
what? -
Irata - Tuesday, January 7, 2020 - link
Just have a look at Notebook check's review of the Dell Inspiron 15 5575 (Ryzen 2200u).
The review's summary is: "Dell has equipped its 5000 series with a heavily-throttled Ryzen 3 chip, a dark, low-contrast screen and a storage device that clicks annoyingly. Was this clumsiness or intention?"
And the verdict:
"Acer has already shown us how to create a good office all-rounder that can keep up with current Intel chips and even trumped them during occasional gaming with Ryzen 3. Dell, unfortunately, has decided to take a different path, which, we believe, led the manufacturer to an unsuccessful implementation of Ryzen 3. The APU throttles so heavily that it cannot even get close to its turbo clock rates. Therefore, the processor, application and games benchmarks are disappointing - and the clicking hard drive is the last straw. Dell has not done the AMD Ryzen a favor with this laptop - unlike Acer with its Aspire 3 A315-41." -
Irata - Tuesday, January 7, 2020 - link
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for Dell's AMD gaming laptop to be good, it's just that so far Dell is not the OEM that you'd associate with good AMD based products. Maybe this has changed - we'll see. -
dboris - Friday, January 10, 2020 - link
You realise that previous mobile chips were based on older AMD tech, and that those new CPU are better than intel in thermal efficiency, right?
It's not about judging how Dell integrates better AMD than intel, it's about how those CPU are able to perform under thermal constrain. -
Irata - Sunday, January 12, 2020 - link
But if everyone else integrated that APU better than Dell, that says something about them, doesn't it. The review specifically quotes the Acer Laptop with the same APU that gets 30% (or so) better performance.
The Dell model was poorly configured with bottom end parts, but wasn't a bargain either. -
deksman2 - Friday, February 21, 2020 - link
But, this IS about judging how Dell Integrates AMD and how they integrate Intel APU's.
Its been noted from previous reviews that Dell artificially constrained an already constrained mobile APU.
It was Dell's responsibility to build cooling which was capable of handling the APU and hw in question. Simple answer is, they chose not to.
I do hope they produce a far better option this time around.
Acer does better implementation of AMD hw with proper cooling, but their product support is rather lacking (they usually discontinue support about 6 months after releasing a product) and their BIOS is really outdated.
I loved the Acer Helios 500 PH517-61 though (Ryzen 2700 and Vega 56). Really efficient, dead silent (even at full load temps were around 65 degrees C for the CPU and GPU - that essentially beat MANY desktops), however, Acer did make a few mistakes with it: outdated BIOS interface and severely locked down at that... no new relevant BIOS updates.
Acer also made a B450 mobo with 4 RAM slots... two of which were directly underneat the kb and populated them with 2x8GB 2400MhZ (slow) RAM.
It was impossible to reach the RAM slots in question to swap out for more RAM unfortunately without completely disassembling the unit.
I wouldn't mind an Acer Zen 2 laptop which is powerful, but they need to introduce a better BIOS, sensible RAM implementation (all RAM slots on easily accessible side with the rest of the hw, such as the CPU/GPU, SSD, HDD, etc) and not discontinue product support after only 6 months.
That was a monster laptop with respectable performance. Acer did drop the ball with it. -

Now that Kodak is in bankruptcy protection, the future of all their film products
is unclear. Should HC-110 become unavailable, I recommend
Ilford Ilfotec HC as an alternative.
It is not identical and is not syrupy, but it can be handled with a syringe the same way as HC-110 and probably
has similar keeping properties. Being a Phenidone-hydroquinone developer, it probably gives slightly higher true
emulsion speed (toe speed) than HC-110.
I have made a few minor updates to this page, shown in blue type. This year, 2012, is the 50th anniversary of HC-110. NOTE ADDED 2009: I do not have any information about HC-110 other than what is posted here. To develop film, please follow the recommendations from the manufacturer of the film and the developer. I cannot take responsibility for the performance of products whose manufacturers may change them at any time. NOTE ADDED 2006: I am no longer doing much film photography and am no longer actively updating this page. I will make corrections as needed to keep its contents accurate, but I am no longer soliciting further information about this developer. Thank you for your interest! |
Copyright 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2012 Michael A. Covington.
Please link to this page rather than reproducing copies of it.This page is not in any way connected with or endorsed by Eastman Kodak Company or any other photographic manufacturer. Many of the product names that appear on this page are registered trademarks of their respective owners.
About HC-110
Kodak HC-110 is a liquid-concentrate film developer introduced in 1962 and widely used ever since, particularly in photojournalism and fine-art photography.It is recommended by Ansel Adams in his book, The Negative, and is a favorite of Zone System enthusiasts.
The official Kodak data sheet contains recommended developing times for practically all Kodak black-and-white films. A more comprehensive table of developing times, comprising films from other manufacturers, is available at www.digitaltruth.com. See also Greg Mironchuk's HC-110 tips and Stefan Heymann's German HC-110 page.
HC-110 is unusually environmentally friendly for the simple reason that it uses a small amount of chemicals. Less than 6 mL of HC-110 syrup - which itself is not highly toxic - will develop a roll of film. Compare that to the quantity of chemicals needed in typical powdered developers.
Obscure Beginnings
The introduction of HC-110 in 1962 apparently went almost unheralded. Scanning photography magazines from that period, I have not found any reviews, news items, or even advertisements for it. The New York Times reported on August 26, 1962 (p. 114): "Kodak HC-110 Developer, highly concentrated and rapid developer for black-and-white films, and Kodak HC-110 Replenisher, will be available next month. Characteristics include moderately fine grain, full shadow detail, long density scale, development latitude, and no loss of film speed, according to Kodak. The new product will be offered in bottles to make two gallons and three and one half gallons of working solution; the replenisher, in bottles to make one gallon." That is the only news of its debut that I have been able to find. I would like to hear from people who can point me to early reviews of HC-110.The name "HC-110" is also curious. No other Kodak products have names beginning with "HC-" although one can guess that it might stand for "highly concentrated." Normally, Kodak developers have distinctive names such as Polydol, Dektol, etc., or numbered designations that begin with DK if the developer uses sodium metaborate ("Kodalk balanced alkali") and D if it doesn't (thus DK-50, D-76, and so forth). SB denotes stop baths, F denotes fixers, and there are a few other abbreviations for other types of chemicals.
Developer Characteristics
HC-110's selling points are ease of use, versatility, and reliability. The concentrate keeps for years; it's easy to mix up enough developer for one roll at a time; all types of black-and-white film can be developed with HC-110; and results are consistent.Until recently, Kodak literature said little about the differences between general-purpose film developers. However, the 2001 Kodak Professional Photographic Catalog contains a comparison chart.
Compared to D-76, this chart indicates that HC-110 (dilution B) produces:
Apparently, HC-110 has somewhat more solvent action than D-76, but less than Xtol.
- Slightly less shadow detail or true film speed;
- Slightly finer grain;
- Slightly lower acutance.
Opinions differ about the effect of HC-110 on grain. Some photographers report coarser grain than with D-76; others report finer grain. This is probably a function of dilution and agitation.
Opinions also differ regarding acutance, since many photographers report that HC-110 produces high acutance, especially at high dilutions. This is a function of solvent action, which is reduced by diluting the developer.
Where HC-110 really shines is in scientific work or push-processing, where film is deliberately overdeveloped to increase contrast and speed. HC-110 gives surprisingly little fog even with very prolonged development. In this respect it resembles D-19, Kodak's high-contrast scientific developer. I normally use HC-110 (A) for 10 minutes to develop gas-hypersensitized Kodak Technical Pan Film, which fogs severely in other developers.
Like Rodinal, HC-110 keeps very well and gives very reproducible results. It is a good choice when failure would be costly.
Curve Shape
Although I have not made detailed tests, it appears that HC-110 tends to produce an "upswept" characteristic curve with relatively high contrast in highlights (dark areas of the negative, light areas of the picture).With T-Max 100 film in particular, HC-110 produces an upswept curve, with more contrast in the highlights than in the shadows, while Xtol produces a more S-shaped curve (reminiscent of Tri-X Pan), with the most contrast in the midtones.
This is confirmed by John P. Schaefer in The Ansel Adams Guide: Basic Techniques of Photography, Book 2. Schaefer's measurements indicate that diluting HC-110 does not change this effect appreciably; he got the same curve shape with Dilution B, 4.5 minutes, and Dilution F, 10 minutes. For an S-shaped curve he recommends Edwal TG7 developer.
When developing T-Max films in HC-110, be sure not to overdevelop. My own working time for HC-110 (B) is about 85% of Kodak's published time.
Date Code
Late-1990s bottles of HC-110 apparently have a manufacturing date code. Apparently this is the usual industry code where 9916, for instance, denotes the 16th week of 1999. That's when it left the factory; it may reach the consumer a year later, or more. I opened a bottle with this code just recently (June 2001) and decanted it into smaller bottles. It will probably take me 2 years to use it up, and if past experience is any guide, there won't be any noticeable deterioration the whole time.
Note: As of 2006, bottles of HC-110 are labeled with an expiration date. But if you transfer the syrup from the plastic bottle into completely full 4-ounce or 125-ml glass bottles, there is every reason to expect that it will still be good 4 or 5 years past the expiration date. At present I cannot distinguish between fresh HC-110 syrup and syrup that was stored that way since 2001.
Development Times
Need a longer development time?
Development times shorter than 5 minutes are hard to control accurately. But some newer films require very short development times in normal dilutions of HC-110.The solution? Try the unofficial dilution H which is half of dilution B, and simply develop twice as long as for dilution B.
I am doing this successfully with Fuji Neopan 400.
Kodak films
From Kodak data sheets unless otherwise noted. Development in small tanks, agitating 5 seconds every 30 seconds.If a development time with dilution B is less than 5 minutes, I recommend changing to dilution H and developing twice as long. Dilution H is a one-shot developer (not reusable).
Important note: In 2002, Kodak changed its manufacturing processes for a number of films. Although the photographic characteristics were not affected, development times have changed. The new films have new designations, such as 400TX instead of TX. That is why two versions of many films are listed below. For more information see Kodak's press release, Kodak's revised development times, and the general information available on www.kodak.com.

That is too short to be practical, and I think they have made a serious mistake; it looks to me like the time for dilution A. I think they used the wrong dilution in their testing for both 400TX and 125PX.
Numerous photographers tell me that the correct time for 400TX is only a few percent shorter than for the old TX. Even Kodak told me the same thing though they insist that they didn't mix up the dilutions.
However, it's generally agreed that Kodak's published time of 7.5 minutes for TX in dilution B was a bit long. Most photographers recommend about 6 to 7 minutes.
I want to thank Dick Dickerson and Silvia Zawadzki (retired from Kodak, part of the team that invented Xtol) for correspondence about this. They, too, think the wrong dilution was used in Kodak's tests. It will be interesting to see if the published time changes in future Kodak publications.After further thought, I suspect that there really isn't much difference between 3.5 minutes and 5 minutes. The reason? This is almost entirely within the induction time (the time taken to start development). Results with development times this short are notoriously irreproducible and I recommend higher dilutions.
Ilford films
From Ilford data sheets unless otherwise noted. (The times for 75°F are my calculations.) Development in small tanks, "intermittent agitation" (probably comparable to the usual Ilford regimen of agitating 10 seconds every minute).If a development time with dilution B is less than 5 minutes, I recommend changing to dilution D and developing about 25% longer.

Handling and Mixing
General Approach
HC-110 is so cheap that I always use it as a "one-shot" developer, with no attempt to reuse it. Kodak makes a replenisher which I have never used. The keeping properties of HC-110 concentrate are outstanding.The developer is supplied as a syrupy concentrate which you are supposed to dilute 1:3 with water to make a stock solution and ultimately 1:31 to make dilution B. I do not make stock solution; instead, I work directly with the syrup, which will keep at least 4 years in tightly sealed, full bottles.
Note: In Europe, HC-110 is also sold in 500-mL bottles as a less concentrated syrup which you dilute 1:9 to make dilution B. If you are using that product (Kodak CAT 500 1466), follow the instructions for the European concentrate, not those for the syrup. Although the European type of HC-110 is sold in England, there does not seem to be an English data sheet for it. Full-strength syrup is also sold in Europe so make sure you know which one you have.On opening a 16-ounce or 500-mL bottle of HC-110, I decant the syrup into four amber glass medicine bottles, three of which are filled to the brim to exclude all air. I withdraw the syrup with an oral medicine syringe (designed for giving liquid medicines to babies; not used with needles and not restricted by law anywhere). Then I spray "Dust-Off" gas into the bottle to displace the air that was let in.

Dilution Guidelines
The following table tells you how much SYRUP (original HC-110 concentrate) to use to make specific amounts of particular dilutions:
Dilution from SYRUP 240 mL
(1 roll, steel tank)300 mL
(1 roll, plastic tank)480 mL
(2 rolls, steel tank)600 mL
(2 rolls, plastic tank) A (1:15) 15 mL 18.8 mL 30 mL 37.5 mL B (1:31) 7.5 mL 9.4 mL 15 mL 18.8 mL C (1:19) 12 mL 15 mL 24 mL 30 mL D (1:39) 6 mL 7.5 mL 12 mL 15 mL E (1:47) 5 mL 6.3 mL 10 mL 12.5 mL F (1:79) 3 mL* 3.8 mL* 6 mL 7.5 mL G (1:119) 2 mL* 2.5 mL* 4 mL* 5 mL* H (1:63) 3.8 mL* 4.7 mL* 7.5 mL 9.4 mL *Be sure to use at least 6 mL of syrup per 135-36 or 120 roll of film, even if this requires you to put more than the usual amount of liquid in the tank.
The following table tells you how much EUROPEAN CONCENTRATE (from 500-mL bottles only, CAT 500 1466) to use to make specific amounts of particular dilutions:
Dilution from EUROPEAN CONCENTRATE (500 1466) 240 mL
(1 roll, steel tank)300 mL
(1 roll, plastic tank)480 mL
(2 rolls, steel tank)600 mL
(2 rolls, plastic tank) A (1:4) 48 mL 60 mL 96 mL 120 mL B (1:9) 24 mL 30 mL 48 mL 60 mL C (1:5.25) 38.5 mL 48 mL 77 mL 96 mL D (1:11.5) 21 mL 26 mL 38.5 mL 52 mL E (1:14) 16 mL 20 mL 32 mL 40 mL F (1:24) 9.6 mL* 12 mL* 19 mL 24 mL G (1:36.5) 6.4 mL* 8 mL* 12.8 mL* 16 mL* H (1:19) 12 mL* 15 mL* 24 mL 30 mL *Be sure to use at least 19.2 mL of European concentrate per 135-36 or 120 roll of film, even if this requires you to put more than the usual amount of liquid in the tank.
Dilutions G and H are unofficial not described in any Kodak publications. See "Unusual Uses" below. I use Dilution H as a substitute for Dilution B to give twice the development time.
Dilutions C, D, and E seem to have been designed to match, respectively, the developing times of DK-50, DK-50 1:1, and DK-50 1:2 with sheet film (Carroll, Photographic Lab Handbook, 1979).
With this developer, development time is roughly proportional to dilution. Thus:
Dilution D Develop 25% longer than with Dilution B Dilution E Develop 50% longer than with Dilution B Dilution F Develop 2.5 times as long as with Dilution B It takes about 6 mL of syrup to develop one 135-36, 120, or 8x10-inch film without exhausting the developer when complete development is required, perhaps less for compensating development. Thus, when experimenting with extreme dilutions, you may need more than the usual total amount of developer in the tank.
Adjusting Development Time for Different Temperatures
You can compensate for small changes in development temperature (over the range 66-75°F, 19-25°C) by changing the development time.
To adjust the development time for a temperature other than the one specified, use these formulae:
On some calculators EXP x is called ex. New time = Old time × exp(-0.081 × (New temp °C - Old temp °C))
New time = Old time × exp(-0.045 × (New temp °F - Old temp °F))
Though derived from published data about HC-110, these formulae are also approximately correct for most other developers. You can also use this chart:
How to Find Unknown Development Times
A clip test is a simple way to find out whether a particular developing time is roughly correct for a particular film. It's also a way to make sure your developer hasn't gone bad.To do a clip test, you'll need a small piece of the film you're going to develop; a small piece clipped off the leader will do, since the test is performed in full room light. You'll also need a sample of the fully exposed (black) leader portion of a correctly developed roll of film. It need not be the same kind of film as long as it is of the same general type and was developed to the level of contrast that you're trying to achieve.
Using small dishes, develop, stop, and fix your sample of undeveloped film in full room light. Then wash it for about 5 minutes, hang it up to dry, and compare it carefully to a piece of the black portion of a correctly developed roll. Neither one should be pitch black; you should be able to see strong lights through them.
Compare them. If your experimental sample is too black, use less development time; if it's not as black, use more.
Unusual Uses for HC-110
Ansel Adams used HC-110 dilution G (syrup 1:119) as a compensating developer to increase shadow detail without blocking highlights. His developing time (presumably for Tri-X Pan Professional) was about 18 minutes at 68°F (20°C), with continuous agitation for the first minute and subsequent agitation for 15 seconds every 3 minutes. For preferential development of the shadows, it is important not to agitate too much.
For 35-mm film, this would require a minimum of 6 mL of syrup with water to make 720 mL, and one roll should be developed in a 2-roll tank with all 720 mL of liquid in it.
Michael Gudzinowicz (on rec.photo.darkroom) recommends dilution H (syrup 1:63) for higher acutance. Development times are to be found by experiment, but are likely to be 50% to 100% longer than for HC-110 (B). I find that doubling the time for Dilution B is a good starting point.
It has been suggested that HC-110 might benefit from dilution with a sodium sulfite solution (perhaps 5%) as with Edwal FG7. Bear in mind however that HC-110 apparently already has considerable solvent action.
Joe Giacalone reports that astrophotographer Gerard Therin does planetary photography on gas-hypersensitized Kodak Technical Pan which he develops in two baths, first HC-110 (B) for 5 to 6 minutes and then D-19 for 2 minutes (presumably at 20 C = 68 F). My own thought is that a single bath in HC-110 (A) for 8 to 10 minutes will probably give very similar results.
You can develop photographic paper in HC-110 (A). Action is slightly slower than other print developers, and the capacity is less (about 10 or 15 8x10 sheets per 600 mL).
Scott Daniel Ullman (on rec.photo.darkroom) recommends adding HC-110 to paper developer in order to increase its working life and increase highlight detail (i.e., lower the threshold of developable exposure). He adds about 60 mL of HC-110 syrup to five liters of prepared Lauder Chemical Concentrated Paper Developer. Presumably, the organic accelerators in HC-110 are responsible for the beneficial effects.
Michael G. Slack (in Darkroom Photography, July/August 1979, p. 13) reports pushing Kodak Tri-X Pan to EI 4000 (with extreme contrast increase) by developing for 5 minutes at 75 F in HC-110 replenisher diluted 1:15 (like Dilution A, but starting with replenisher rather than syrup).
HC-110 Monobath
On Oct. 9, 2004, Donald Qualls posted, in rec.photo.darkroom, the following description of a monobath based on HC-110.A monobath is a combined developer-fixer. You process the film in just one chemical - the monobath - and then wash it.
From Mr. Qualls' article:
My specific HC-110 monobath was developed after taking a statement in Anchell & Troop as a challenge; they said they weren't aware of anyone developing a monobath that used rapid fixer instead of hypo, because development would have to be exceedingly rapid. Well, let's see HC-110 Dilution A at 75 F is pretty darned fast; how much do I need to dilute the fixer to get the fixing time to six minutes? That much? Does it still have enough capacity for 135-36? Cool! I had to adjust the alkalinity and fixer proportion after the first test, but the second was a complete success. For 256 ml of HC-110 Dilution A, instead of pure water, use: 50 ml household clear ammonia 10 ml Ilford Rapid Fixer concentrate Water to make up 256 ml including the HC-110 concentrate for Dilution A At 75F, this mix develops and fixes 400TX in well under ten minutes, likely as little as six (I haven't opened the tank that early, but development should be completed in under three minutes and I lose some shadows to fixing away the halide before the shadows develop; it might work in four minutes total time).I have not tried this myself. It might be especially good for dealing with old or slightly fogged film because of the anti-fog action of the fixer.
Published Tests of HC-110
"Developing the Yellow Box"
In September 1972, Modern Photography published a test of the whole range of Kodak developers and found that, surprisingly, HC-110 gave the finest grain with Tri-X Pan. ("Developing the Yellow Box," by Jason Schneider, Modern Photography, vol. 36, pp. 88-89 and 107.)Specifically, HC-110 (A) gave relatively fine grain and good acutance. (Unfortunately, the developing times are too short to be convenient for most films.) HC-110 (B) "produced virtually grainless Tri-X" but at the expense of acutance.
This is the article that first drew my attention to HC-110. Yes, I read it when it first came out; now you know how old I am! :)
Fred Picker, Zone VI Workshop (Amphoto, 1974)
This book praises HC-110 highly and also cites a review from International Photo Technique (1970) reporting that HC-110 produces finer grain and greater sharpness than Ilford Microphen. (No big surprise there; Microphen is a speed-increasing developer and HC-110 is not.)Picker and other fine-art photographers feel that mastery of one particular developer is more important than changing formulas and that HC-110 and Tri-X Pan Professional are a very good combination.
The Judge-Holm Test
A very interesting test of numerous developers with Kodak T-Max 100 and Technical Pan Films is reported in these two articles:
- Judge, Nancianne, and Holm, Jack, "Sensitometric Evaluation of Kodak Technical Pan Film and Kodak T-Max 100 Professional Film Using a Wide Range of Developments," Kodak Tech Bits 1990, Issue No. 2, pp. 5-9. (Kodak Publication No. P-3-90-2.)
- Covington, Michael A., "Choosing a Developer Scientifically: An Interpretation of the Judge-Holm Test Data," Kodak Tech Bits 1991, Issue No. 2, pp. 14-16. (Kodak Publication No. P-3-91-2.)
Developers were evaluated for contrast and true toe speed (not push-processing speed, which is higher because it's based on midtones). As the following graph (from my article) shows, with T-Max 100:
- Kodak T-Max Developer gave the highest true speed at any given contrast index. (Normal contrast is 0.6 or 0.7.)
- D-76, D-23, HC-110, and Agfa Rodinal were the same to within experimental error. Rodinal looks as if it might have given somewhat lower speed than the others if the curves were extended, but this is not certain. Likewise HC-110 may be running a little lower than D-76.
- D-19, often used for scientific work, gave much less speed than HC-110 at comparable contrast indices.
The full text of the articles is presumably still available from Kodak.
Toe speed of Kodak T-Max 100 vs. contrast index in various developers. My plot of Judge and Holm's data, previously published in Kodak Tech Bits 1991.
The Secret Formula
The formula of HC-110 is a closely guarded trade secret - which, of course, does not prevent numerous photographers, including myself, from trying to figure it out.The material safety data sheet (MSDS) for HC-110 mentions only:
Water, diethylene glycol, and ethylene glycol (solvents);
Diethanolamine-sulfur dioxide complex (sulfite in liquid form);
Hydroquinone (developing agent);
2-aminoethanol and diethanolamine (accelerators); and
Pentetic acid (chelating agent to remove water impurities).However, I have it on good authority that HC-110 also contains another developing agent, a Phenidone derivative, probably Dimezone (4,4-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, invented by Kodak, a derivative of Ilford's Phenidone).
This information comes from Bill Troop (co-author of The Film Developing Cookbook), who cites a personal communication from Dick Henn, who formulated HC-110 for Kodak.
A formula that resembles HC-110 was published in U. S. Patent 3,552,969 (1971), and many HC-110-like formulae are in British Patent 958,678 (1964, probably the original patent for HC-110). Practically all of them contain Phenidone or Dimezone.
Ilford's nearest equivalent to HC-110, Ilfotec HC, definitely contains Phenidone.
HC-110 does not act like most Phenidone or Dimezone developers. It does not produce fog or increase shadow speed. I attribute this to the use of a rather strong restrainer.
There are surely also other ingredients in HC-110, and the formula is known to have changed somewhat over the years. The syrup is lighter-colored than it used to be; for a while, in the 1980s, it was quite yellow.
The formula from Patent 3,552,969 is published in The Film Developing Cookbook, by Stephen G. Anchell and Bill Troop, p. 58. However, the patent number is given incorrectly there, and the words "Water to make 1 liter" should be deleted. This is an excellent book about developer formulations and I highly recommend it.
Another complication is the fact that the U.S. MSDS for Kodak HC-110 Developer Replenisher (but not HC-110 Developer) also lists pyrocatechol, a developing agent now rarely used. It is not entirely clear whether the information is current or pertains to an earlier formulation, since the label on the replenisher bottle does not mention pyrocatechol. Moreover, the British MSDS for the replenisher does not list that ingredient. Anchell and Troop report that HC-110 itself contained pyrocatechol at one time.
The formula of HC-110 and a few other single agent developers was discussed extensively in the newsgroup rec.photo.darkroom in February 2003 in a thread titled "Single agent developers." You can view that thread by clicking here. Several experts participated and contributed detailed information about how they think HC-110 works. In particular, the organic amines in it make it very different from other developers.

US Brand Name | Eryped |
Strength | 250mg |
Generic Name | Erythromycin |
Manufacturer | Alembic |
Pharmaceutical Form | Tablet/s |
What is Erythromycin?
Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that
slows the growth of sensitive bacteria or kills them by reducing the production
of important proteins required by the bacteria to thrive. It is prescribed for
the treatment of several types of bacterial infections.
Erythromycin is sold under various trade
names, some of which are Ery-Tab, Eryped, and Althrocin (made by Alembic).
Information about Erythromycin
Do not take Erythromycin antibiotic medicine
(Ery-Tab, Eryped, Althrocin) if you have a known allergy to it, or if you are
also using cisapride, dihydroergoatmine, ergotamine, or pimozide. These
medicines can interact with Erythromycin producing dangerous or
life-threatening heart rhythm disorders. Consult your doctor about this.
Prior to taking Erythromycin, notify your
doctor if you have liver disease, myasthenia gravis, a heart rhythm disorder, a
history of Long QT syndrome, or low levels of potassium or magnesium in your
blood. Your doctor will decide if it is safe for you to take this medicine on
top of these conditions.
You must strictly complete the full course of
Erythromycin antibiotic as directed by your doctor. Your symptoms may subside
even before your medication gets over. Skipping or discontinuing the medicine
halfway will lead to relapse of your infection which can be drug resistant and
difficult to treat with common antibiotics.
A common side effect of antibiotic medicines
is diarrhea. If you have a watery or bloody diarrhea after taking an
antibiotic, stop taking it and seek medical attention right away. This can be a
sign of a new infection.
Erythromycin is an FDA pregnancy category B
drug. It is not expected to harm an unborn baby if taken while being pregnant.
This medicine can pass into breast milk and harm a nursing baby. You must
consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant, planning
to get pregnant or breast feeding.
Before taking Erythromycin
Before taking Erythromycin (Ery-Tab, Eryped,
Althrocin), consult your doctor and discuss about the precautions and other
details about this medicine. Do not take this medicine without a doctor's
How should I take Erythromycin?
Take Erythromycin strictly as prescribed by
your doctor. Do not make any changes in using the medication without his or her
advice. All medications come with a patient leaflet. Follow the instructions in
them if you have any doubt. However, remember that your doctor's advice
overrides everything else.
What happens if I miss a dose of
Don't miss a single dose of Erythromycin. But
if you do miss a dose for some reasons, take it as soon as your remember it.
However, forget about the missed dose if the time for the next dose is near.
Don't take multiple doses close to each other to compensate for the missed dose
as that will lead to extra medicine in your body at one time which can be
What should I avoid while taking
Antibiotic associated diarrhea is a common
side effect of any antibiotic medicine. Do not use any diarrhea medicine
without your doctor's advice.
Erythromycin Side Effects
Erythromycin usage may lead to some common
side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain or cramps,
appetite loss, or mild heartburn. A serious side effect due to Erythromycin is
rare but get medical attention right away if you experience any of these
conditions: joint pain or swelling, unusual fatigue, hearing problems,
yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine or change in amount of urine.
In rare cases, Erythromycin can cause a
severe form of diarrhea (Clostridium difficile – associated diarrhea) due to
resistant bacteria. This condition may occur during the treatment, or several
weeks or months after stopping the treatment. Do not take anti diarrhea
medicine without asking your doctor. Let your doctor know immediately if you
have persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, or blood or mucus
in your stool.
The side effects mentioned above are non
exhaustive and there may be other side effects as well. Seek medical help if
you witness any other severe side effects. You may also report your side
effects to FDA by calling at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Erythromycin Dosing Information
Erythromycin dosage may depend on a range of
factors like seriousness of the condition, age, sex, or drug allergies among a
host of several other factors.
Interaction with other drugs
There are a lot of other medications that can
interact with Erythromycin. Let your doctor know if you use any of these
medications: other antibiotics, bromocriptine, alfentanil, cilostazol,
colchicine, cyclosporine, digoxin, methylprednisolone, sildenafil, tacrolimus,
theophylline, vinblastine, alprazolam, triazolam, blood thinners,
carbamazepine, heart or blood pressure medicines, or anti arrhythmic medicines.
However, these are not all the medications
that can interact with Erythromycin. You must inform your doctor about all
other medicines which you may be using.
