I mixed zithromax(azithromycin) 200mg/5ml in mixed fruit juice for my 4 yrs old son. the taste became unbearably bitter. why could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zithromax: Zithromax has a bitter after taste that cannot be masked by fruit juice as you have noticed. Can try chocolate syrup (1 teaspoon chocolate syrup to a teaspoon of medication) to mask the taste.
