Dosage
What is the dosage for Azithromycin?
Azithromycin contains the active ingredient of azithromycin (as azithromycin monohydrate), in doses of either 250mg or 500mg per tablet/capsule. Your doctor will know which dose is suitable for the condition you are trying to treat. Although Chlamydia is its main use, Azithromycin can also be used to treat other ailments (as it’s an antibiotic).
When treating Chlamydia, the dose is 1000mg taken as a single dose for one day only. When treating anything else, it could be administered over 3 or 5 days; your doctor will be able to advise.
If you forget to take your Azithromycin tablet then you should take it as soon as you remember. If you are taking it for longer than a single dose, and it’s nearly time for your next one then do not double up to make up for the forgotten dose.
If you take more Azithromycin than you should, then you should contact a doctor or pharmacist immediately as the effects can include hearing loss (reversible), nausea and diarrhoea.
