Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. The dosage depends on your specific infection and your overall health. Typical regimens involve a single daily dose for several days. For example, a common adult dosage for common infections is 500mg on the first day, followed by 250mg daily for four days. Children’s dosages are significantly lower and determined by weight and the specific infection.
Mixing Azithromycin Powder
Accurate measurement is crucial. Use the measuring spoon or device provided with your medication. Mix the powder thoroughly with the specified amount of liquid, usually water, as directed on the label. Stir until completely dissolved. Do not use more or less liquid than recommended. The resulting mixture should be smooth and free of clumps. Drink immediately after mixing.
Important Considerations
Some foods or medications may affect azithromycin’s absorption. Discuss potential interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Do not double the dose. Report any unusual side effects to your healthcare provider immediately. Appropriate storage conditions (dry, cool place) are crucial to maintaining the drug’s potency.
