If you are using single-dose packets of Azithromycin powder for oral suspension, mix the entire contents of each packet with 2 ounces of water, drink immediately, then add an additional 2 ounces of water, mix again, and drink to make sure you've taken the entire dose. When giving the pediatric suspension, shake the bottle thoroughly before each use and measure the dose with the supplied calibrated dropper. Use the pediatric suspension within 10 days and throw out any that remains.

Zithromax capsules and suspension contain the active ingredient azithromycin, which is a type of drug called a macrolide antibiotic. (NB. Azithromycin is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic drug.) Azithromycin is prescribed to treat infections caused by bacteria.

Azithromycin works by preventing bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers. Azithromycin therefore stops the spread of infection and remaining bacteria are killed by the body's immune system or eventually die.

Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against a wide variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of infections. Azithromycin may be prescribed to treat infections of the upper or lower airways, skin or soft tissue, or ears. Azithromycin is also be prescribed to treat the sexually-transmitted infection chlamydia.

To make sure the bacteria causing an infection are susceptible to azithromycin your doctor may take a tissue sample, for example a swab from the throat or skin.
