Zithromax (azithromycin) effectively treats various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections like pneumonia and bronchitis, skin infections such as cellulitis, and sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia. Its broad spectrum makes it a versatile antibiotic.
Ciprofloxacin, on the other hand, targets a different range of bacteria. It’s frequently prescribed for urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory infections (particularly those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and certain types of skin infections. It’s also used to treat infections following surgery or injury.
While both combat bacterial infections, their specific applications differ. Doctors select the appropriate antibiotic based on the identified bacteria and the patient’s medical history. Always consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
