What Is Azithromycin?

Azithromycin seems to be an antibiotic. Thus, like others, it should help treat bacterial infections. Most patients may take it orally. However, an intravenous injection may be possible. It appears that children and adults can take this antibiotic. Some pediatricians will prescribe it for tonsilitis or ear infections. Most patients seem to take this medication for three to five days. Severe infections, though, may need ten days.
