Can I take erithromycin for a UTI?

My friend at work has a lot of her erithromycin antibiotic leftover, and I have a UTI. If it doesn't get better with cranberry juice and water, I will go to the doctor before it becomes a kidney infection or sepsis, but I have crappy insurance now, so I'd rather wait on that if I can. has anyone used erithromycin to treat a UTI?

The erithromycin is not expired and is only 2 months old. I am taking azo cramberry pills now.

NEVER take another persons antibiotics! You could be allergic to them, have a severe reaction.
Also, that antibiotic may not be effective for whatever is causing your UTI. Go and see your own MD now, crappy insurance and all!
