For adult sinus infections caused by susceptible bacteria, your doctor typically prescribes Zithromax (azithromycin) as a single daily dose. The usual course of treatment is a total of five days.
The recommended dosage varies depending on the severity of the infection and your individual health conditions. Common dosages include:
- 500 mg on Day 1, followed by 250 mg daily for four additional days. This is a common regimen for many adult patients. 250 mg once daily for five days. This lower dosage may be appropriate for less severe infections.
Your physician will determine the most suitable dosage based on your specific needs. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Never alter the prescribed dosage without consulting them.
Important considerations: You should complete the full course of antibiotics, even if your symptoms improve before the end of the treatment. Stopping early can lead to recurring infections and antibiotic resistance.
