What is Azithromycin and what is it used for:
Azithromycin is an antibiotic medication that is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
How to take Azithromycin:
Azithromycin is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished.

Nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting
Abdominal pain or cramping

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Azithromycin:
Before taking Azithromycin, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, or a history of QT prolongation. Azithromycin may interact with certain medications, including other antibiotics, antacids, and blood thinners. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Azithromycin may also increase the risk of developing an irregular heart rhythm called QT prolongation, especially in individuals with certain medical conditions or taking certain medications. Close monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during treatment.
Azithromycin is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It may also pass into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking Azithromycin while breastfeeding.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Azithromycin.
