Always follow your doctor’s prescription. Self-medication is dangerous. Dosage depends heavily on the infection being treated and your individual health status.
For adults, typical regimens involve 500mg once daily for three days, or 250mg twice daily for five days. However, for certain infections, like pneumonia, a longer course may be prescribed. Your doctor will determine the appropriate duration and dosage.
Children’s dosages are calculated based on weight and the specific infection. Never administer adult dosages to children. Consult a pediatrician for accurate pediatric dosing information.
Zithromax is usually taken orally with or without food. However, taking it with food might reduce stomach upset in some individuals. Swallow the tablets whole; do not crush or chew them.
Complete the full course of antibiotics, even if you feel better before the prescribed course ends. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance and recurrence of the infection.
If you experience adverse reactions like nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting, contact your doctor immediately. These may indicate a problem, and adjustments to the treatment plan may be necessary.
