The typical Zithromax Z-Pak dosage for adults is 500 mg on the first day, followed by 250 mg once daily for four more days. This totals six 250 mg tablets.
Specific Instructions:
- Day 1: Take two 250 mg tablets together. Days 2-5: Take one 250 mg tablet daily at roughly the same time each day.
It’s crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better sooner. Stopping early may lead to the infection returning, stronger than before.
Important Considerations:
Always follow your doctor’s instructions. This dosage information is general; your doctor may prescribe a different dosage based on your specific needs and medical history. Take Zithromax with a full glass of water. This helps prevent stomach upset. Avoid taking Zithromax with antacids. Antacids can interfere with the absorption of the medication. Inform your doctor of any allergies or other medications you are taking. This helps prevent potential drug interactions. Contact your doctor if you experience any side effects. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Severe side effects require immediate medical attention.
