3. It is recommended to take the drug with food or on an empty stomach, following the instructions for choosing the appropriate form of administration - tablets or capsules.

It is very important to follow all the doctors recommendations and not miss doses to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

How does it work?

The mechanism of action of Zithromax is based on the ability of its active component, azithromycin, to interfere with the process of protein synthesis in bacterial cells. This key property of the drug allows it to effectively combat various infections. By inhibiting protein synthesis, Zithromax stops the vital activity of bacteria, preventing their reproduction and growth. Thus, the drug creates conditions under which the body can independently cope with the remaining pathogens.

The variety of bacteria against which Zithromax is effective allows it to be included in the therapy of a wide range of diseases. It has a high degree of activity against pathogens of respiratory and urogenital infections, as well as gastrointestinal infections and some skin diseases. Zithromaxs comprehensive approach eliminates unpleasant symptoms and ensures the recovery of the body in the shortest possible time.

The drugs effectiveness has been confirmed in the treatment of both acute and chronic infections, making it a universal remedy in the fight against bacterial diseases.

Contraindications

However, despite its wide range of applications, Zithromax has contraindications that must be taken into account before starting treatment. These include:
