A member asked:

Have liquid azithromycin, prescribed in the event that my infant tested positive for pertusis; she did not. bottle has not been open. safe to use?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Tricky: "prescribed IF infant had pertusis". If there isn't a reason to use it, then it is not recommended to use it without a reason.

Dr Hegab and another doctor agreed
