Finish all your Zithromax, even if you feel better before the medication is gone. This is crucial for complete Chlamydia eradication.
The standard Zithromax dosage for Chlamydia is a single dose of 1 gram. However, some doctors might prescribe a different regimen. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
- Never alter your prescribed dosage or schedule without consulting your doctor. Taking less Zithromax increases the risk of treatment failure and potential complications. Keep all appointments for follow-up testing to confirm the infection is cleared. This typically occurs several weeks after completing treatment. Inform your sexual partners about your infection so they can receive appropriate testing and treatment. Untreated partners can re-infect you. Avoid sexual contact until you and your partners have completed treatment and received negative test results.
Potential side effects of Zithromax include nausea, diarrhea, and stomach upset. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
Note any severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, swelling, rash) and seek immediate medical attention. Proper storage is important. Keep Zithromax at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Discard any leftover medication appropriately, following your local guidelines.
Remember, completing your Zithromax course ensures successful treatment and prevents potential long-term health issues associated with untreated Chlamydia.
