Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Incorrect dosage can reduce effectiveness or increase side effects.
Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. These usually are mild and resolve without treatment. Drink plenty of fluids if you experience diarrhea.
Less common but more serious side effects require immediate medical attention. These include severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), irregular heartbeat, and jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes).
Before taking Azithromycin, inform your doctor about any existing health conditions, particularly liver or kidney problems, heart rhythm issues, or myasthenia gravis. Also disclose all medications you currently take, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as interactions can occur.
During treatment, avoid alcohol consumption, as it may increase the risk of liver damage. Monitor yourself for any unusual symptoms and contact your doctor immediately if concerns arise.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Discuss Azithromycin use with your doctor before taking it if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant. The drug may pass into breast milk.
Storage: Keep Azithromycin powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its potency.
