Zithromax Prescription Online

Zithromax - Overview

Zithromax prescription medication is the brand name of azithromycin, an antibiotic prescribed to people thought to have an infection susceptible to Zithromax. People who might need a Zithromax prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Zithromax tablets, including Zithromax 500 mg and Zithromax 250 mg, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Zithromax?

Zithromax is the brand name for azithromycin - a macrolide antibiotic manufactured by Pfizer and used to treat a range of bacterial infections. Today, branded Zithromax tablets are infrequently dispensed at pharmacies because generic azithromycin tablets - identical in active ingredient and clinical effect - are the standard product patients receive. Zithromax is also the brand behind the Z-Pak - a 5-day course of azithromycin packaged as a blister card with six tablets. The Z-Pak format was introduced by Pfizer as a convenience dosing package for the branded Zithromax product but most prescriptions today are filled using generic azithromycin tablets.

Zithromax - Dosage and Cost

Zithromax prescription tablets contain azithromycin as the active ingredient in 250 mg and 500 mg strengths. The dosing schedule varies by indication and a licensed medical provider will determine the appropriate dose and duration for a specific infection. Generic Zithromax tablets are some of the most affordable antibiotics available, typically costing under $20 for a standard course at most pharmacies. For full clinical information on azithromycin - including conditions treated, dosing schedules, drug interactions, and FAQ - see the azithromycin page.

Can I Buy Zithromax Online?

Zithromax medication requires a prescription and is not available as Zithromax OTC (over the counter) in the United States. Because of this restriction, one cannot simply buy Zithromax online as the initial step to getting a Zithromax prescription is consulting a medical provider. People who need a Zithromax prescription, however, can connect with an online medical provider using Push Health who can prescribe Zithromax tablets, including Zithromax 250 mg and Zithromax 500 mg medication, when appropriate to do so.

Zithromax - Side Effects

Zithromax medication can cause adverse effects when used. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and fatigue. A clinically important side effect is QTc interval prolongation - a change in the heart's electrical rhythm that can increase the risk of serious arrhythmias in susceptible patients. Patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmia should discuss this risk with their provider before taking azithromycin.

Alcohol can worsen gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and diarrhea while taking Zithromax medication and should be avoided. Patients should also inform their provider and pharmacist of all current medications when planning on starting the medication. Patients with a hypersensitivity or allergy to azithromycin or other macrolide antibiotic should not use Zithromax. For complete side effects and drug interaction information, see the azithromycin page.
