What Experts Say

Doctors in Pakistan frequently prescribe Azithromycin for respiratory and throat infections. It stays active in body tissues for several days after the last dose. This allows a short treatment course that most patients find easier to complete than older antibiotics. This convenience is one reason it remains a preferred choice for common infections in Pakistan.

Health experts note that Azithromycin resistance is rising due to overuse and self-medication. Doctors recommend completing the full course even if symptoms improve early. Early stopping lets surviving bacteria multiply again and can make future infections harder to treat. Patients who buy antibiotics without medical guidance risk taking the wrong dose or duration.

Physicians also caution against combining Azithromycin with certain heart medicines or antacids without medical advice. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use it only when a doctor confirms it is necessary. Regular checkups help catch rare but serious side effects early. Anyone with a history of liver problems should mention this before starting the medicine.
