Drug Uses

Zithromax is used for treatment of mild to moderate bacterial infections. The drug may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

How it is taken

Take Zithromax exactly as directed by your doctor. Exact dosage instructions can also be checked on the product label. It may be taken with (to avoid an upset stomach) or without food.  In order to cure the infection completely, it is recommended that you continue to use Macrobid for the full course of the treatment even if you feel better in a few days.

Failure to do this leads to the bacteria becoming resistant to treatment by Zithromax or other similar antibiotics in the future.

Missed Dosage

If you miss a dose, then you may take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is nearly time for the next dose, then skip it and continue with your normal dosage. Do not take a double dose to make up for the skipped dosage.

Overdose
The common symptoms of the diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach and vomiting. You should seek medical attention immediately if you suspect an overdose.
 

Zithromax is used for treatment of many different types of infections caused by bacteria, such as respiratory infections, skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. It is an macrolide antibiotic related to erythromycin and fights bacteria in the body. In children, it is used to treat middle ear infection, pneumonia, tonsillitis, and strep throat.

In fact there are many other medicines that can interact with Zithromax. In need tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list with you of all the medicines you use and show this list to any doctor or other healthcare provider who treats you.

Take this medication for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor. Your symptoms may get better before the infection is completely treated. Zithromax will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu. Take Zithromax on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Do not take antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium within 2 hours before or after you take Zithromax. This includes Rolaids, Maalox, Mylanta, Milk of Magnesia, Pepcid Complete, and others. These antacids can make Zithromax less effective when taken at the same time.
