Zithromax is one of the best antibiotics that have been available on the market for some time. It is being reviewed here because it probably may not show up in the Formulary of some of the health plans that you belong to and you may otherwise never hear about it.

It has been approved for treatment of lower respiratory tract infection by certain bacterial strains, alternative treatment for certain upper respiratory infections, specific skin infections, and sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia trrachomatis.

I think the best description of Zithrromax is that it is simply a great antibiotic. It is generally well tolerated by most patients and it is very effective over a short period of time if used properly. Also the treatment is usually for 5 days and this means that often patients do finish the treatment in comparison to other antibiotics which have to be taken for a longer period of time.

Like all of the other antibiotics, Zithromax has a list of side-effects. You can not take this antibiotic if you are allergic to Erythromycin, Azithromycin, or other Macrolid Antibiotic. You can look at the list of side effects by consulting Physician Desk Refrence or ask your pharmacist for a print out. The side-effects can be avoided if the doctor selects the patient carefully, choose the proper dose of medication, and educate the patient about these medications, how to take them, and discuss their possible side-effects. A consultation with an Infectious Disease Specialist would be very helpful if you suffer from recurrent infections.

Zithromax is only avilable in Brand Name with no generic brand on the market.
