Zithromax Z-Pak contains the active ingredient azithromycin. It is a prescription antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections.
Azithromycin may be used to treat certain bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, including:
It only works when the infection is caused by bacteria that are sensitive to azithromycin.
Azithromycin may also be used to treat certain uncomplicated bacterial infections of the skin and surrounding tissues.
In children, azithromycin may be used to treat acute otitis media, which is a middle ear infection caused by certain bacteria.
Azithromycin may be used for certain sexually transmitted bacterial infections, including some cases of:
These infections may require different azithromycin doses than the standard 5-day Z-Pak regimen.
Zithromax belongs to a group of antibiotics called macrolides.
It works by blocking the production of proteins that bacteria need to grow and multiply.
This slows or stops the bacterial infection and allows the immune system to clear it.
Zithromax only treats bacterial infections.
It does not work against viruses such as those that cause colds or the flu.
Take azithromycin exactly as prescribed and complete the treatment course unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise. Using antibiotics when they are not needed can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Zithromax Z-Pak contains azithromycin tablets that are taken by mouth.
Azithromycin tablets can be taken with or without food.
If the medication upsets your stomach, taking it with food may help.
For certain infections, the usual 5-day Z-Pak schedule is:
Day 1: 500 mg once
Days 2 through 5: 250 mg once daily
This means you usually take two 250 mg tablets on the first day, followed by one 250 mg tablet once daily for the next 4 days.
Not every infection is treated with the standard Z-Pak schedule.
Depending on the infection, an adult may instead be prescribed:
Take only the dose and treatment schedule prescribed for your specific infection.
If you are taking azithromycin for several days, try to take it at about the same time each day.
This helps you remember your doses and keeps treatment consistent.
Continue taking azithromycin for the full prescribed course, even if you start feeling better before you finish it.
Stopping treatment too early may allow the infection to return or make it harder to treat.
Antacids
Some antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may interfere with azithromycin.
Check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist about how to space your antacid and azithromycin doses.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve, become worse, or return after you finish treatment.
Do not take leftover azithromycin or start another course without medical advice.
Zithromax Z-Pak (Azithromycin) is available in the following forms and strength:
Azithromycin can cause serious allergic reactions in some people.
Seek emergency medical attention if you develop:
Some allergic reactions can return even after the first symptoms improve, so medical follow-up may still be needed.
Azithromycin can rarely cause serious liver problems.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease before starting treatment.
Stop taking azithromycin and contact your healthcare provider right away if you develop:
Severe liver injury, including liver failure, has been reported.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have severe kidney disease.
Azithromycin can usually be used without a dose adjustment in people with mild or moderate kidney impairment, but extra caution is recommended when kidney function is severely reduced.
Azithromycin can prolong the QT interval, which may increase the risk of a serious abnormal heart rhythm called torsades de pointes.
The risk may be higher if you:
Seek medical attention if you develop a fast or irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, or fainting.
Antibiotics such as azithromycin can change the normal bacteria in the intestines.
This may allow Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) to grow and cause serious diarrhea or inflammation of the colon.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe, persistent, or bloody diarrhea during treatment or even after finishing the antibiotic.
Azithromycin can worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have this condition.
Seek medical attention if you develop worsening muscle weakness, trouble swallowing, or difficulty breathing.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.
Important interactions may occur with:
Warfarin users may need closer monitoring because azithromycin can increase blood-clotting test results.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Available human data have not identified a clear increased risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other serious pregnancy problems from azithromycin.
Your healthcare provider will decide whether treatment is appropriate based on the infection and your overall health.
Azithromycin can pass into breast milk.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.
Your healthcare provider may recommend watching your baby for possible effects such as diarrhea, vomiting, or rash.
Zithromax Z-Pak should only be used for infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
Using antibiotics when they are not needed can increase the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Seek prompt medical attention if you develop difficulty breathing, severe swelling, fainting, an irregular heartbeat, severe or bloody diarrhea, worsening muscle weakness, or signs of liver problems.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
If you think you have taken too much Zithromax Z-Pak, contact a poison control center or seek medical attention right away. Taking too much azithromycin may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or diarrhea.
Zithromax Z-Pak can interact with some medications. Tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use before starting treatment. This is especially important if you take medications for heart rhythm problems, blood thinners, or aluminum- or magnesium-containing antacids.
There is no well-established direct interaction between azithromycin and alcohol. However, alcohol may make side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or stomach upset feel worse. It may be best to limit or avoid alcohol until you have finished treatment and are feeling better.
