Zithromax DT (active ingredient: azithromycin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Bacterial Infections: Zithromax DT is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in both adults and children, including respiratory infections (such as bronchitis, pneumonia), ear infections (otitis media), skin infections, and sexually transmitted infections (such as chlamydia).
  2. Strep Throat: Zithromax DT is indicated for the treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat) and tonsillitis.

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

Azithromycin dispersible tablets are taken orally either with or without food. In the event of stomach upset, take the tablet with food. Typically, it is taken once per week on the same day each week. The tablets are designed to dissolve quickly in water for easy administration, particularly for children who have difficulty swallowing tablets. To use Zithromax DT dispersible tablets, you should first dissolve the tablet in a glass of water before drinking the mixture.

Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may decrease the absorption of azithromycin if taken at the same time. If you take an antacid that contains aluminum or magnesium, wait at least 2 hours before or after taking azithromycin.

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
