Drug Indications
Azithromycin (trade name Zithromax) is an antibiotic that is used in the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections, such as pneumonia, strep throat, middle ear infections, and certain sexually-transmitted diseases like gonorrhea and syphilis.
Use
Zithromax is typically taken in tablet form, but also comes in capsule and liquid form. It is usually prescribed once a day for two to five days. Like all antibiotics, Zithromax should be taken exactly as directed. It should not be taken more frequently or at greater or lesser doses than prescribed. It is common for patients taking antibiotics like Zithromax to feel better before the course of medication is completed, but all of the medication should be taken unless directed by a doctor. If medication is stopped before the course is completed, the infection could recur and symptoms could be more severe. In capsule or tablet form, Zithromax should be taken with a full glass of water, with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take Zithromax with food. In liquid form, Zithromax should be shaken well to be properly mixed and should be taken one hour before or two hours after meals.
Precautions
Zithromax can aggravate certain liver conditions, so patients with liver disease should tell their doctor about their condition before beginning a course of Zithromax, since a lower dosage of Zithromax, close monitoring, or a different antibiotic may be needed to avoid causing liver damage. Patients who may be pregnant or could become pregnant during the course of Zithromax should inform their doctor. As a pregnancy category B drug, Zithromax is not expected to cause birth defects. Zithromax may be passed through breast milk, so patients who are breastfeeding should inform their doctor before taking Zithromax.
Missed Dose
If a dose of Zithromax is skipped, the missed dose should be taken as soon as it is remembered. If it close to time to take the next dose, a double dose should not be taken. Skip the missed dose and take a single dose of the medication.
Contraindications (Side Effects)
Patients who experience symptoms of an allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) such as facial swelling or swelling in the lips or tongue, closing of the throat, hives, or shortness of breath or difficulty breathing should stop use of Zithromax immediately and seek emergency medical care. Patients who experience symptoms of liver disease or liver failure such as jaundice (yellowing of the eyes or skin), unusual bleeding or bruising, especially around the abdomen, bruising easily, fatigue, nausea, or abdominal discomfort or pain should seek emergency care and stop use of Zithromax immediately. Some less serious side effects may also occur that do not require the patient to stop treatment, but the patient should see their doctor. Such side effects include yeast infection, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, headache, photosensitivity (sensitivity to sunlight), or rash. See a doctor if other side effects occur, especially those which may be particularly bothersome or uncomfortable.
Storage
Zithromax tablets and capsules should not be stored in extreme cold or heat. Keep tablets and capsules in temperatures between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Storing Zithromax outside this temperature range may render the medication ineffective. Store Zithromax liquid in temperatures between 41 and 86 degrees and shake well before each use. Discard after prescribed amount has been taken. Leftover liquid Zithromax should be discarded within ten days.
Overdose
Symptoms of Zithromax overdose include stomach pain and discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Seek emergency medical attention in case of overdose.
Other Information
Zithromax may cause photosensitivity (sensitivity to sunlight). Patients should avoid or limit prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If prolonged sun exposure cannot be avoided, use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while outdoors.
