Zithromax Z-Pak (active ingredient: azithromycin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  • Bacterial Infections: Zithromax Z-Pak is used for the treatment of various bacterial infections, including:
    • Respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia
    • Skin and soft tissue infections
    • Ear infections (acute otitis media)
    • Sinus infections (acute bacterial sinusitis)
    • Certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia and gonorrhea

Zithromax Z-Pak belongs to a class of drugs known as macrolide antibiotics, which work by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth and spread of bacteria.

Azithromycin is available in tablet form and should be taken as directed by your doctor, usually once daily with or without food. If you experience stomach upset, take the tablet with food. The dosage of this antibiotic is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To ensure the best effect, take the medicine at evenly spaced intervals and try to take it at the same time each day.

The recommended dosage of Azithromycin may vary depending on the type and severity of infection being treated. The typical adult dosage ranges between 500 to 2000 mg once a day, taken as a single dose. For some types of infections, the initial dosage may be followed by doses of 250 to 500 mg once daily for a total duration of 7 to 10 days.

Take the full prescribed amount of Azithromycin, even if your symptoms improve after a few days. Stopping the medication too early could allow the bacteria to continue to grow and may result in a return of the infection. If you are taking an antacid that contains aluminum or magnesium, wait at least two hours before or after taking Azithromycin as the antacid may decrease the absorption of the antibiotic.

  • Azithromycin can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, and dizziness.
  • Patients with liver or kidney disease should use caution when taking Zithromax Z-Pak. They may require a lower dose or a different medication.

This risk is higher in patients with pre-existing heart conditions or those taking other medications that can prolong the QT interval.

  • Azithromycin can worsen symptoms of myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness and fatigue.
  • Azithromycin should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women, as its safety in these populations has not been fully established.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Zithromax Z-Pak?
