In general, zithromax is used for the treatment of various types of bacterial infections, for instance, bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. Available in the form of both zithromax pills and zithromax tablets it is taken orally. You can have it for once a day for 2-5 days at a stretch. But always take as you are directed. Without the prescription of the doctor do not indulge into any adventurism. If you are having the liquid formation shake it well before each use to mix the medication evenly.

Continue to have the medicine even if you are feeling well. In case of any missed dose, take it as soon as you remember. But, if it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take the next one as directed. It is not safe at all to take a double dose of the medication, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Conversely, if you have any liver disease says to the doctor. In that case you will certainly not be allowed to go on with the medication, or you may require a lower dose or special monitoring during treatment. Again, if you are pregnant or can become pregnant do not have this medication without the doctor' advice. Even if you re breast feeding a baby do not do without asking the doctor, since whether Zithromax passes into breast milk is still not known.

  Now, there are several chances of experiencing zithromax side effects. If you are having yellowing of the skin or eyes, nausea, abdominal pain or discomfort, unusual bleeding or bruising, severe fatigues stop taking Zithromax and seek emergency medical attention. Or else if you have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain continues to take the medicine and talk to your doctor. Lastly avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight since there may be the increase of sensitivity of the skin to the sunlight.
