Main Description
Azithromycin is a potent macrolide antibiotic used to address various bacterial infections, including bronchitis, pneumonia, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and infections affecting the ears, lungs, sinuses, skin, throat, and reproductive organs. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in treating and preventing the spread of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection, particularly in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). As part of the macrolide antibiotics class, Azithromycin operates by halting bacterial growth. It's essential to note that while effective against bacteria, antibiotics like azithromycin are ineffective for treating colds, flu, or other viral infections.
