Why is Zithromax prescribed?

Azithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat specific bacterial infections, including pneumonia, bronchitis, certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and infections of the ears, sinuses, skin, throat, lungs, and reproductive organs. It is also used to treat or prevent disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection—a type of lung infection that commonly affects individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Note: Azithromycin belongs to a group of antibiotics known as macrolides. It is important to note that azithromycin, like other antibiotics, is ineffective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can increase the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant infections in the future.

What does it do?

Azithromycin works by preventing certain bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow and reproduce.

How should I take it?

Take this medication by mouth with a full glass of water, following the instructions on your prescription and condition. You can take the tablets with or without food. If it causes stomach discomfort, taking it with food may help.
