Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drink alcohol while taking azithromycin?
While it's not a hard no, it's probably better to skip the booze. Alcohol can increase the chance of side effects and slow down how fast you recover.
Does Zithromax affect birth control pills?
Generally, Zithromax doesn't interfere with birth control. However, if you get sick with vomiting or diarrhea, your birth control pills might not work as well.
How long does it take for Zithromax to start working?
Usually, you should start feeling better after a couple of days. But don't stop taking it until you finish the full course, even if you feel better.
I missed a dose of Zithromax, what should I do?
If it's not too close to your next dose, take the missed one. But if your next dose is soon, skip the missed one. Never take two to make up for it.
Is it okay to take Zithromax if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you're pregnant, planning to be, or breastfeeding, you gotta tell your doc. They'll weigh the pros and cons for you.
