Zithromax, or azithromycin, is administered orally, typically as a tablet or suspension. This makes it convenient for most patients.
However, severe infections may necessitate intravenous administration. Your doctor will determine the best route based on your specific condition and health status. Factors influencing this decision include the severity of the infection, your ability to tolerate oral medication, and potential absorption issues.
Oral Zithromax is readily absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentrations within 2-3 hours. Intravenous administration offers quicker action when immediate treatment is required, ensuring faster drug delivery to the site of infection. Remember to always follow your physician’s instructions precisely for dosage and duration.
Important Note: Never alter your prescribed medication regimen without first consulting your doctor. Incorrect dosage or administration can impact treatment effectiveness and potentially lead to adverse reactions.
