Question 1

is the generic sandoz azithromycin trusted for adequate chlamydia eradication? or should i take a more well known trusted brand like zithromax?

Accepted Answer

Should be fine: The generic is essentially the same as the brand name and much less expensive. I would take the azithromycin.

Question 2

is taking a 1.5g single dose of azithromycin adequate to eradicate chlamydia? is it ok i'm using a generic brand or should a well known brand be used?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Typical dose for chlamydia is 1 gram in a single dose. Should not be any significant difference between brand name and generic.

Question 3

dose of azithromycin?

Accepted Answer

Depends : On what is being treated.

Question 4

is azithromycin dairy free?

Accepted Answer

Lactose: Azithromycin contains lactose which is the type of sugar found in milk but does not contain milk protein. LActose is found in many pills as a filler. Usually there is not enough to cause problems even in those with lactose intolerance.

Question 5

azithromycin lasts for how long?

Accepted Answer

Zithromax shelf life: Aluminium/PVC blister strips in carton boxes: 60 months.
Polythene capsule container with child resistant cap: 48 months.

A single dose of oral azithromycin 250 mg will remain in the body for 2-4 days.  A typical 5 day course (Z-pak) is effective for 10 days.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Better: To take a small amount of juice or a couple of crackers. This will interfere less with absorption. 30 minutes after taking the pill you can have milk. All the best.

Question 9

what is azithromycin prescribed for?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic: Zithromax aka Azithromycin is one of the first once daily dosing antibiotics available in the us.  It is used to treat many different bacterial infections.  If you have an infection you should see your doctor to find out if this is the correct antibiotic for you.  Different antibiotics cover different types of infections.

Question 10

azithromycin can be given for 7 days?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but unusual: Seven days would be safe but is an unusual recommendation. Azithromycin usually is given in a single dose of 1,000 mg (for chlamydia and related STDs) or for 5 days (500 mg first day, 250 mg daily for 4 more days) (mainly for bronchitis, sinusitis, etc). Longer treatment, up to several weeks or even a few months, sometimes is used for certain other infections.
