Description:
Azithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial causes of gastroenteritis. It is especially helpful for Campylobacter and Shigella infections, as well as for severe or bloody traveler’s diarrhea in areas where fluoroquinolone resistance is common. Studies show it can shorten the illness by about a day in Campylobacter infections if started early. For adults, the usual dose is 500 mg once daily for 3 days (with pediatric doses based on weight). It is not recommended for routine stomach bugs or infections from Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, since it offers no benefit and may cause harm.
