Completing the Full Course of Treatment

Finish all your azithromycin as prescribed. Don’t stop early, even if you feel better.

Why Finish Your Antibiotics?

    Eliminate Bacteria: Stopping early leaves some bacteria alive, potentially leading to reinfection or antibiotic resistance. Prevent Complications: A full course ensures the infection is completely cleared, reducing the risk of complications like pneumonia. Protect Others: You’re less likely to spread the infection to others after completing treatment.

Managing Side Effects

Some people experience mild side effects like nausea or diarrhea.

Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids to alleviate diarrhea. Bland Diet: Eat easily digestible foods if nausea occurs. Medication Timing: Taking azithromycin with food might help reduce stomach upset. Doctor’s Advice: Contact your doctor if side effects are severe or persistent.

Missed Doses

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses.

Storage

    Store azithromycin at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children.
