Take each dose exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This usually means taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals, such as twice daily. Don’t skip doses, even if you feel better. Consistent medication is key to eliminating the infection.
Finish the entire course of antibiotics. Your doctor will specify the duration, usually 5 days, but it may vary. Do not stop taking Zithromax early, even if symptoms disappear. Stopping prematurely could lead to antibiotic resistance and a recurring infection.
Store your medication properly. Keep Zithromax in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Follow the storage instructions on the label.
Monitor for side effects. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. If you experience any severe or unusual reactions, contact your doctor immediately.
Maintain hydration. Drink plenty of water to aid in the medication’s absorption and help flush out the infection.
