A member asked:

Hellothis is a weird question but can i crush an azithromycin tablet and then pour it in alcohol and take it that way? and it will still be effective?

Specializes in Pediatrics

Crushed: The tablets can be crushed but don't mix with alcohol. Azithromycin can cause nausea and drowsiness. Alcohol will worsen those effects.
