Question 3

what is the treatment for zithromax overdose?

Accepted Answer

No antidote for it: I have never seen or heard of any serious trouble with zithromax od--from people have accidentally taken 3-4 times what is recommended. Single dose of 2gm (4x more than usual dose of longer course of 5 days) is often given these days, and those who have trouble usually end up vomitting it out.

Accepted Answer

Azithromycin : has a half life of almost 4 days, so once u take one dose, it will be in your system for at least that long. With adverse reactions to drugs (allergies), these can occur at any time during therapy-- Once your body realizes "hey I don't like this stuff". The good news is azithromycin rarely causes serious side effects, so hopefully u are doing OK...
