Zithromax.
Zithromax (azithromycin) can be prescribed for people with infections of the ears, lungs, skin, and throat, H. pylori infection, sexually transmitted diseases, early Lyme disease, bronchitis, or pneumonia. This is a macrolide antibiotic that works by slowing down the activity of the bacteria. Zithromax is supposed to be taken several times a day – your health care provider will give you more information on how many times a day you will be supposed to take this drug. You always need to make sure you take the exact dose prescribed, as using more of Zithromax is not going to kill the bacteria faster. Zithromax is supposed to be taken for several days in a row, and it's important that you avoid missing any doses. Make sure you tell your doctor if you are taking phenytoin, cyclosporine, nelfinavir, medications that suppress the immune system, anticoagulants, digoxin, ergotamine, or terfenadine – drugs that can interact with Zithromax and decrease its effectiveness. There is no need to worry if you develop such symptoms as insomnia, ringing in your ears, vomiting, mild itching or skin rash, mild nausea, headache, constipation, stomach pain, diarrhea, or dizziness, as they are considered to be mild and are unlikely to change in intensity or get bothersome with time.
