Xifaxanta (Travellers Diarrhoea)

Azithromycin is used to treat Chlamydia. It is part of the macrolide group of antibiotics that are used to treat bacterial infections like Chlamydia.

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria. Azithromycin kills bacteria because it contains macrolide antibiotics.

Although Chlamydia may not present with symptoms, it is important to get it checked quickly and treated promptly. If left untreated, the infection may spread and cause more inflammation. Sometimes, it can even cause infertility.

Azithromycin can be used to treat the infection quickly and effectively. It also prevents the infection from spreading to other people.

Azithromycin can only be prescribed by a doctor. Follow the instructions of your doctor. Always read the information leaflet in the medication package.

You should take one tablet daily and swallow it with water.

Azithromycin is a tablet/capsule that contains azithromycin, the active ingredient. It comes in two doses: 250mg and 500mg. Your doctor can advise you on the right dose for your condition. Azithromycin is used primarily to treat Chlamydia, but it can also be used for other conditions (as an antibiotic).

The recommended dose to treat Chlamydia is 1000mg, taken once daily. It could be given over three to five days for other conditions. Your doctor can advise.

You should remember to take your Azithromycin tablets, but if you are late do not take more than one dose of Azithromycin. Do not double the dose to make up for it.

You should consult a doctor immediately if you are taking more Azithromycin than you should. The effects could include hearing loss (reversible), nausea, and diarrhoea.

if you have muscle weakness, myasthenia gravis;
