What Experts Say

Azithromycin stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to survive, which clears the infection over a short course.

Its long lasting action means most infections need only 3 to 5 days of treatment instead of a longer course.

Finishing the full course matters, since stopping early can let the infection come back or make bacteria harder to treat.
