What Experts Say

Azithromycin stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply, clearing a wide range of common infections.

Its short, once daily course of three to five days is one reason it is a popular choice, since it is easier to complete fully than longer antibiotic courses.

It should be taken on an empty stomach for best absorption, roughly an hour before or two hours after food, and the full course should be completed even once symptoms improve, to fully clear the infection.
