Get a azithromycin prescription online for bacterial infections

Azithromycin is a prescription antibiotic that is commonly used to treat bacterial infections of the ears, lungs, sinuses, skin, throat, and reproductive organs, as well as pneumonia and bronchitis and certain types of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It is part of an antibiotic drug class called macrolide antibiotics, which work by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause infections.

Azithromycin is currently available under the brand names Zithromax, Zithromax Tri-Pak, Zithromax Z-Pak, and Zmax, and comes in the oral dosage form of a tablet, an extended-release powder for suspension, and a powder for suspension.

Azithromycin is used to treat bacterial infections of the ears, lungs, sinuses, skin, throat, and reproductive organs, as well as pneumonia, bronchitis, and certain types of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It can also be used to treat diarrhea and other GI infections, as well as Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), a type of lung infection that can occur in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Less commonly, azithromycin can be used to treat tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and babesiosis.

It is important to only use antibiotics like azithromycin when prescribed, as taking antibiotics when they are not needed can increase your chance of contracting an antibiotic-resistant infection. Remember that antibiotics like azithromycin are only effective against bacterial infections and will not work against viral infections such as the cold or flu.

Macrolide antibiotics like azithromycin work by inhibiting something called bacterial protein synthesis. Simply put, azithromycin prevents bacteria from creating more bacteria by blocking a cell tunnel needed for replication. The bacteria are no longer able to make new proteins, and the bacterial growth eventually stops.

This mechanism makes azithromycin extremely effective in killing the bacteria that can cause pneumonia, bronchitis, certain STDs, and other ear, lung, sinus, skin, and throat infections. However, antibiotics like azithromycin are only effective against bacterial infections and will not work against viral infections such as the cold or flu.

Common side effects of azithromycin include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and headaches. Azithromycin can also cause you to feel dizzy, confused, or disoriented, so you should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know what kind of impact it has on you.

This is not a complete list of adverse effects – though these are among the most common. Seek medical attention right away if you experience any of the following symptoms while taking azithromycin:

• fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeat
  
• dizziness
  
• fainting
  
• rash with or without a fever
  
• blisters or peeling
  
• fever and pus-filled, blister-like sores, redness, and swelling of the skin
  
• hives
  
• itching
  
• wheezing or difficulty breathing or swallowing
  
• swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
  
• hoarseness
  
• vomiting or irritability while feeding (in infants less than 6 weeks old)
  
• severe diarrhea (watery or bloody stools) that may occur with or without fever and stomach cramps (may occur up to 2 months or more after your treatment)
  
• yellowing of the skin or eyes
  
• extreme tiredness
  
• unusual bleeding or bruising
  
• lack of energy
  
• loss of appetite
  
• pain in the upper right part of the stomach
  
• flu-like symptoms
  
• dark-colored urine
  
• unusual muscle weakness or difficulty with muscle control
  
• pink and swollen eyes
  

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with, as well as any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with azithromycin.

Azithromycin can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. These medications and substances include certain anticoagulants (blood thinners), colchicine (Colcrys, Gloperba, Mitigare), cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune), digoxin (Lanoxin), dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45, Migranal, Trudhesa); ergotamine (Ergomar, in Migergot), medications for irregular heartbeat such as amiodarone (Nexterone, Pacerone), dofetilide (Tikosyn), procainamide, quinidine, and sotalol (Betapace, Sorine, Sotylize), nelfinavir (Viracept), and phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek).

Certain antacids can reduce the effectiveness of azithromycin tablets and azithromycin powder for suspension, so you should allow time to pass between taking antacids and your azithromycin dose.

In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.

Azithromycin tablets and powder for suspension are usually taken with or without food once a day for 1-5 days. Dosage can vary from 500 to 2000 milligrams (mg) once a day, but the starting dose and dose timing for azithromycin can differ depending on your age, weight, and diagnosis.

Take the medication exactly as your healthcare provider prescribes. Do not discontinue or increase your dosage of azithromycin without consulting with your provider first. If you begin to experience adverse side effects while taking this medication, like those listed above, inform your provider right away.

To prevent your infection from becoming resistant to antibiotics, you should continue taking azithromycin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. Do not skip doses or stop taking the azithromycin, and follow your doctor’s instructions closely.

You should store your medication in a closed container at room temperature, away from extreme heat, extreme cold, moisture, and direct light, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Azithromycin is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed health care provider.
