A member asked:
Is the activity of zithromax decreases with doing hand sex after 3 hours of single dose or it can be re infection i was very good before do hand sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: The antibacterial activity or efficacy of zithromax is not related to or adversely effected by either the frequency or type of sex or when you took the medication in relation to sex. If being used to treat gonorrhea or chlamydia: >95% effective. To avoid transmission, should wait 7 days after single dose therapy and, to avoid re-infection, until all sex partners have been similarly treated.
