Uses
Zitromax (Azitromisin) is a broad spectrum antibiotic that belongs to the macrolide group of antibiotics. Its method of action involves inhibiting the ability of the bacteria responsible for the infection to produce the proteins needed to grow and multiply. This stops the infection from spreading, and allows the immune system to destroy any bacteria which remain.

There are many different types of infection occurring throughout the body which can be treated with this medicine. Examples include chlamydia, otitis media (middle ear infections), sinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, gonorrhoea, skin infections and any other infections that your doctor deems it suitable for. However, this medicine will not treat viral infections.
