How to take this medication
How much Zithromax you take and how often you take it depends on many factors, including the condition being treated and the age and weight of the patient. If you have any questions about the amount and/or frequency of Zithromax you are taking, talk with your health care provider. Carefully read the patient leaflet provided with Zithromax and reread it each time you get this prescription refilled. Take Zithromax exactly -as prescribed by your health care provider.
