Q: i have to take 4 azithromyacin pills for chlamydia but its impossible for me to swallow pills. will they be effective if i crush them in food or disolve in a drink?

: You could crush the pills if they are not the extended release pills , but dissolve them only in foods or drinks which do not contain significant amount of calcium and magnesium , like milk .Applesauce is a convenient way to take it.
