Bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia), ENT infections (sinusitis, tonsillitis/pharyngitis), skin and soft tissue infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections as prescribed.

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

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily; may be taken with or without food (take with food if stomach upset occurs). Swallow whole with water and complete the full course; avoid taking antacids containing aluminium/magnesium within 2 hours of the dose.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, indigestion, headache, dizziness, taste disturbance

Use only for suspected/confirmed bacterial infections (not viral). Use with caution in liver disease, history of cholestatic jaundice/hepatitis, myasthenia gravis, and in patients with QT prolongation/arrhythmias or low potassium/magnesium (risk of serious heart rhythm problems). Seek urgent care for severe allergy (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty) or severe/persistent diarrhoea (may indicate C. difficile). Dose adjustment/monitoring may be needed in severe renal impairment. May reduce effectiveness of oral typhoid vaccine.

Warfarin/other anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk), antiarrhythmics and QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, quinidine, certain antipsychotics/fluoroquinolones), ergot derivatives (avoid), digoxin (increased levels), cyclosporine (increased levels), antacids containing aluminium/magnesium (reduced absorption if taken together), statins (rare myopathy risk), nelfinavir
