Always follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully. Zithromax dosage for children is weight-based, so accurate weight measurement is paramount. Never exceed the recommended dose.

Oral Suspension: Administering Safely

For oral suspension, use the provided measuring device to ensure precise dosing. Gently shake the suspension before each use to maintain uniform drug concentration. Refrigerate the suspension and discard any unused portion after 10 days. If your child has difficulty swallowing the medication, you can mix a small amount with a spoonful of applesauce or pudding. However, avoid mixing with acidic beverages.

Intravenous Administration: Hospital Setting Only

Intravenous Zithromax should only be administered by healthcare professionals in a hospital or clinical setting. Closely monitor your child for any adverse reactions during and after intravenous administration. Report any concerns immediately to the medical team.

Remember to always consult your pediatrician or pharmacist for any questions or concerns regarding Zithromax administration in children. They can offer personalized guidance based on your child’s specific health needs and medical history. Be sure to clearly communicate any allergies or pre-existing conditions.
