Expert Advice

• To make sure the medicine is evenly distributed, shake the bottle well before each use.
• Use the dropper or measuring cup that comes with the medicine to make sure you get the right amount.
• For optimal benefits, give the drug at the same time every day.
• Finish the whole course of antibiotics, even if your symptoms get better quickly. This stops bacteria from becoming resistant.
• Don't take antacids (aluminum or magnesium-based) for two hours before or after the dose.
• Keep the reconstituted suspension at room temperature and throw away any medicine that you don't use after the stipulated time (typically 5–10 days).

 How It Works

• Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that stops bacteria from making proteins.
• It attaches to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, stopping bacteria from growing and making more of themselves.
• It stops the infection from spreading and lets the immune system get rid of the rest of the bacteria.
• It works against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
