Antibiotics: A "Z-pak" or Zithromax (azithromycin) is an antibiotic. In the Untied States, there are no "over-the-counter" antibiotics available for purchase. You need a prescription.

Nope: Azithromycin is an antibiotic that in the US is only available by prescription. For an infection that might respond to azithromycin, you'll need to see a doctor or clinic. (It is especially important you don't try to treat yourself for chlamydia or other STD without professional evaluation and testing. I mention it since chlamydia is one of the most common problems treated with azithromycin.)
