Always consult your doctor before starting any antibiotic treatment. Azithromycin is a powerful medication, and incorrect usage can lead to complications.
Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage precisely. Don’t adjust the amount or frequency without their explicit approval.
- Complete the full course of medication, even if you feel better before finishing. Stopping early increases the risk of antibiotic resistance. Inform your doctor about any allergies or pre-existing medical conditions before taking Azithromycin. Report any side effects immediately to your healthcare provider. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Azithromycin interacts with certain medications. Disclose all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Store Azithromycin as instructed on the label, usually at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep Azithromycin out of the reach of children and pets. Never share your medication with others; it’s crucial for the proper treatment of infections.
Azithromycin treats specific bacterial infections. It’s not a cure for viral infections like the common cold or flu. Using it inappropriately contributes to antibiotic resistance.
Proper hygiene practices, like frequent handwashing, contribute to preventing bacterial infections and reduce your reliance on antibiotics.
If you have questions about Azithromycin or its use, contact your pharmacist or doctor for clarification.
