Zithromax, or azithromycin, treats various bacterial infections. Doctors frequently prescribe it for respiratory tract infections like bronchitis and pneumonia. It’s also effective against ear infections (otitis media), particularly in children.
Skin infections, such as cellulitis and impetigo, often respond well to Zithromax treatment. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women is another common indication.
Certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including chlamydia and gonorrhea (in combination with other antibiotics), are treatable with Zithromax. However, always consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment of STIs.
While Zithromax is effective against many bacterial infections, it’s crucial to remember that it’s an antibiotic and won’t work against viruses. Your doctor will determine the correct diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate medication.
