Strep resistance!: There is increasing resistance to azithromycin by strep. The latest recommendations by the Infectious Disease Society of America is max 500 mg a day for 5 days. I don't know where that 6th dose comes from! Ask the doc. Resistance rates in Europe may be different than in the U. S.
