Zithromax Tri-Pak 500mg contains three 500mg tablets of azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic. This three-day course treats various bacterial infections. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration. Failure to complete the prescribed course may lead to treatment failure and antibiotic resistance.
Common Uses
This medication effectively targets bacterial infections like bronchitis, pneumonia (certain types), pharyngitis, and skin infections. It’s also used to treat sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, although treatment guidelines often recommend a different antibiotic for gonorrhea due to emerging resistance.
Important Considerations
Before starting this treatment, inform your doctor about any allergies, current medications (including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements), pregnancy, breastfeeding, or liver problems. Azithromycin can interact with other medications, potentially causing adverse effects. Side effects, while uncommon, include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Severe allergic reactions are rare but possible. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling, or hives.
Dosage and Administration
The standard dosage is one 500mg tablet once daily for three days. Take the tablets with a full glass of water, ideally at the same time each day. Avoid consuming alcohol while on this medication. Do not crush or chew the tablets.
