Zithromax

Zithromax is used for treatment of infectious diseases, such as a clamidiosis, urethritis, and pneumonias. If the allergy to penicillin is observed your doctor can prescribe azithromycin as a treatment of other infectious diseases. Azithromycin is inefficient at treating cold, but it can be effective at bronchitis and sinusitis.

Zithromax belongs to the same group of antibiotics as erythromycin. In many cases of infectious diseases erythromycin and amoxicillin are so effective, as well as azithromycin. It is necessary to consider, that azithromycin is much more expensive than the alternative medicines. Some experts advise to use this drug as a backup for therapy of infectious diseases for patients with AIDS.
