Zithromax

Zithromax, also known as azithromycin, is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, such as respiratory infections, skin infections, and certain sexually transmitted diseases. It works by stopping bacteria from multiplying, helping the immune system eliminate the infection. Zithromax is often prescribed in a short course, typically involving a few doses over a day or two. It's generally well-tolerated but can cause side effects like nausea or diarrhea. It is important to complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve to ensure the infection is fully treated.
