What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Zithromax Overview
Azithromycin is used to prevent and treat a very serious type of infection (mycobacteria or MAC). It is a macrolide-type antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Zithromax will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.
How to Use Zithromax
Take Zithromax by mouth, with or without food. You may take Zithromax with food if stomach upset occurs. To prevent infection, take Zithromax as directed by your doctor, usually once a week on the same day each week. Continue to take Zithromax until your doctor tells you to stop. To treat infection, take Zithromax as directed by your doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Continue to take Zithromax until your doctor tells you to stop. Stopping the medication too early on your own may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse. For the best effect, take this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take Zithromax at the same time(s) every day. Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may decrease the absorption of azithromycin if taken at the same time. If you take an antacid that contains aluminum or magnesium, wait at least 2 hours before or after taking azithromycin.
