A member asked:
What to do if i was prescribed azithromycin tablets for strep throat. will they also help pink eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Most "pink eye" is due to a virus and Azithromycin will not have any effect on that. But you should continue the medication for your throat and your eye will get better on its own.
