azithromycin
Macrolide infection fighter
Azithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, skin, ears, and sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia.
Sold under the brand name Zithromax, it's often prescribed as a "Z-pack"—a short course of pills taken over several days.
The doctor prescribed azithromycin for my bronchitis.
