Keep Zithromax in its original container, tightly closed, and out of reach of children and pets. Store it at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. A temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C) is ideal.
Once you’ve finished your course of medication, properly dispose of any leftover Zithromax. Never flush medication down the toilet or pour it into a drain. This contaminates water systems. Instead, follow your local guidelines. Many pharmacies offer medication take-back programs. Check their websites or call to confirm participation.
If you don’t have access to a take-back program, you can mix the medication with an undesirable substance, like used coffee grounds or kitty litter, to make it less appealing. Then, seal the mixture in a tightly sealed bag and discard it in your household trash. This prevents accidental ingestion.
Always refer to your pharmacist or doctor for specific disposal instructions. They can provide tailored guidance based on your location and specific circumstances. Follow their advice carefully.
Remember: Safe storage and disposal protect your health and the environment.
