Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as throat/tonsil infections, sinusitis, ear infections (otitis media), bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections; also used for certain typhoid and sexually transmitted infections as prescribed.

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. This stops bacterial growth and helps the immune system clear the infection.

Oral suspension: Shake well before use. Measure dose with a dosing cup/syringe and take exactly as prescribed (often once daily). Can be taken with or without food; take with food if stomach upset occurs. Complete the full course even if you feel better; do not skip doses.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, indigestion, headache, dizziness, taste changes, rash

Use only for bacterial infections (not for viral cold/flu). Inform doctor if you have liver disease, history of jaundice with antibiotics, severe kidney disease, myasthenia gravis, heart rhythm problems/long QT, low potassium/magnesium, or allergy to macrolides. Stop and seek care if severe diarrhea (possible C. difficile), signs of allergic reaction (swelling, breathing difficulty), or severe skin rash occur. Dose adjustments may be needed in hepatic impairment; use cautiously in elderly and those at risk of arrhythmias.

Antacids containing aluminum/magnesium (separate by at least 2 hours), warfarin/other anticoagulants (↑bleeding risk; monitor INR), digoxin (↑levels), cyclosporine (↑levels), statins (rare myopathy risk), antiarrhythmics/QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, quinidine, certain antipsychotics, fluoroquinolones), ergot derivatives (avoid), nelfinavir (↑azithromycin levels)
