Erythromycin is not used as frequently today primarily due to the development of bacterial resistance and the availability of newer macrolide antibiotics, such as azithromycin and clarithromycin, which have improved efficacy and better side effect profiles. Additionally, erythromycin can cause gastrointestinal side effects, which further limits its use compared to these newer alternatives.
