Zitromax

Zitromax (Azithromycin Dihydrate) is prescribed to treat bacterial infections. This medicine is a type of macrolide antibiotic which works by targeting the bacteria responsible for the infection, preventing them from producing essential proteins, which leads to the eventual destruction of the bacteria. Physicians may prescribe this antibiotic to treat sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia as well as various other types of bacterial infections such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, typhoid, skin infections, ear infections, and various other infections which are not listed here. It must be noted however, that this drug will not work on viral infections.

Zitromax (Azithromycin Dihydrate) comes as tablets which are administered orally at the dosage prescribed by your physician. Because this medication can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, the exact dosage for each patient will vary. Therefore, it is essential that you follow any instructions provided by your physician. It is also very important that you continue taking this medicine for the entire prescribed period (unless your physician tells you not to), even if your symptoms improve, as stopping treatment early could result in a return of your symptoms.

Patients undergoing treatment with Zitromax (Azithromycin Dihydrate) may experience:

• Nausea
• Appetite loss
• Fatigue
• Arthralgia
• Disturbances in taste sensation

If you become worried about any side effects, consult your physician. Serious reactions which require immediate medical attention include skin blisters and peeling, problems related to muscle control, bruising or bleeding, bloody diarrhea, discolored urine and other reactions which have not been listed here.

Taking antibiotic medication can sometimes cause colitis (bowel inflammation). If you suffer from severe diarrhea immediately contact your physician. There is a possibility that taking this medication for a prolonged period of time may cause a yeast infection or oral thrush. Contact your physician immediately if you notice any signs of a new infection.
