Azithromycin 200mg/5ml suspension effectively treats various bacterial infections in children and adults. Dosage and duration vary depending on the specific infection and patient factors; always follow your doctor’s instructions.
This formulation is commonly prescribed for:
| Middle Ear Infections (Otitis Media) | Bacterial infections causing ear pain and inflammation. |
| Pneumonia | Bacterial pneumonia in children and adults, although other treatments may be necessary depending on the severity and type of bacteria. |
| Sinusitis | Bacterial infections causing sinus pain, pressure, and congestion. |
| Pharyngitis (Strep Throat) | Bacterial infection of the throat, characterized by a sore throat. |
| Bronchitis | Acute bacterial bronchitis, characterized by cough and inflammation of the bronchial tubes. Note that many cases of bronchitis are viral, and azithromycin won’t help. |
| Skin Infections | Certain bacterial skin infections like cellulitis or impetigo. Your doctor will determine appropriate treatment based on the infection’s severity. |
Remember, azithromycin treats bacterial infections, not viral ones. Always consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment before using this medication. They can determine if azithromycin is the right choice and prescribe the correct dosage.
