Additional information
Zithromax (Azithromycin) is typically given once a day. However, your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for your child. It may be taken with or without food. Shake the bottle well just before you give a dose. Use the dosing device that comes with Zithromax to carefully measure the dose. Do not use a household teaspoon as it is not accurate enough. Important: Follow the instructions on the label. Do not use more of this product, or more often than prescribed. If you miss a dose, contact your pharmacist.
