A member asked:
When i have an uri and/or a lri , azithromysin does not help ever. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: For an antibiotic to work, it has to 1) be a bacterial infection and 2) the bacteria must be susceptible to the antibiotic. Azithromycin is indicated for pneumonia (and not for uri, which is usually viral), only in patients without significant comorbidities.
