Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the macrolide class, widely used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, effectively stopping their growth and proliferation. Azithromycin is particularly effective against respiratory infections, skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. It is known for its convenient dosing schedule, often requiring only a short course to be effective, and is favored for its ability to stay in the body for a prolonged period, leading to a sustained antibacterial effect. Azithromycin is also noted for its generally good tolerability and low potential for drug interactions, making it a common choice in clinical settings.
