Consult your doctor before using Azithromycin. Self-medicating is risky.
Azithromycin’s effectiveness varies depending on the infection. It’s frequently prescribed for bacterial infections like bronchitis, pneumonia, and certain sexually transmitted infections. However, its use against viral infections is ineffective.
Azithromycin is available in various forms: tablets, capsules, and oral suspensions. Dosage and treatment duration depend on your specific infection and prescribed by your physician.
Potential side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. More serious, though rare, side effects include allergic reactions and liver problems. Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor immediately.
Proper storage is crucial. Keep Azithromycin at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Check the expiry date before use.
