Information (product summary)
Description
Uses
Azithromycin is used to treat infections in different parts of the body
caused by bacteria. It works against several different bacteria,
especially chlamydia,
hemophilus and streptococcus. These bacteria can infect the skin, nose,
throat, and lungs. They can also be transmitted through sexual activity
and cause infections in the genital area. Azithromycin
is also used to prevent infections by a bacterium called Mycobacterium
avium-intra cellulare Complex (MAC) in some people.
Azithromycin works by killing or stopping the growth of bacteria
causing your infection. It is an antibiotic, which belongs to a group
of medicines
called azalides.
Azithromycin will not work against viral infections such as colds or
flu.

not yet studied all the possible interactions. Azithromycin
probably interacts with some blood thinners, heart medications, seizure
medications, and other antibiotics. Be sure your doctor knows about all
the medications you are taking. Your doctor may need to
monitor you carefully if you are taking Azithromycin and the
protease inhibitor ritonavir.
