For adults, the typical Zithromax dosage for a sinus infection is 500 mg on the first day, followed by 250 mg daily for four to five days. This amounts to a total treatment course of 1.5 to 1.75 grams of azithromycin. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions, as dosage may vary based on individual factors.
Children’s dosages are significantly lower and calculated based on weight. A healthcare professional will determine the appropriate dose for your child. Never administer adult medication to a child without explicit medical guidance. Accurate weight measurement is paramount for safe and effective pediatric dosing.
Important Note: Zithromax is a prescription antibiotic. Self-medicating is risky and can lead to antibiotic resistance. Always consult your doctor before starting any antibiotic treatment, and strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration. Failure to complete the full course may result in treatment failure and potential complications. Discuss potential side effects and drug interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.
