General Advice

• Immediate-release oral suspension/tablets
• Administer prescribed dose without regard to meals. Administer with food if GI upset occurs.
• Administer tablets with a full glass of water.
• Shake suspension well before measuring dose. Administer prescribed dose of suspension using dosing syringe, dosing spoon, or medicine cup.
• When administering 1,000 mg single-dose packet, thoroughly mix entire contents of packet with 60 mL (2 oz) of water. The patients should drink the entire contents immediately and then add an additional 60 mL of water, mix, and drink immediately to ensure complete consumption of dosage.
• Administer azithromycin 2 h before or after antacids containing aluminum or magnesium.
• Azithromycin immediate-release oral suspension and ER oral suspension are not interchangeable.

• Injection
• For administration by IV infusion only. Not for intradermal, subcutaneous, IM, IV bolus, or intra-arterial administration.
• Reconstitute powder for injection with 4.8 mL of sterile water for injection. Shake vial until all of the drug has dissolved. Reconstituted solution contains 100 mg/mL.
• Further dilute reconstituted solution with sodium chloride 0.9% injection, sodium chloride 0.45% injection, dextrose 5% in water, Ringer's lactate solution, dextrose 5% in Normosal-M , dextrose 5% in Ringer's lactate solution, dextrose 5% in Normosal-R . Adding 5 mL of reconstituted solution to 500 mL of diluent provides a final concentration of 1 mg/mL; adding 5 mL of reconstituted solution to 250 mL of diluent provides final concentration of 2 mg/mL.
• Infuse prescribed dose over a period of not less than 60 min.
• Inspect solution visually before administration. Do not administer if solution is cloudy, discolored, or contains particulate matter.
• Discard any unused product. Vials are for single use only. Do not save medication for future use.

• Ophthalmic solution
• For topical ophthalmic use only; not to be administered systemically or by subconjunctival injection, or introduced directly into the anterior chamber of the eye.

• ER oral suspension
• Should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 h before or 2 h after a meal.
• Reconstitute bottles containing azithromycin 2 g ER oral suspension with 60 mL of water.
• Shake bottle well before dispensing.
• Do not refrigerate.
• Constituted suspension should be consumed within 12 h.
• Any suspension remaining after dosing should be discarded.
• In the event that the patient vomits within 5 min of administration, additional antibiotic treatment should be considered because there would be minimal absorption of azithromycin. In patients with healthy gastric emptying, alternative therapy or a second dose is not warranted if vomiting occurs 60 min or more following administration. In patients with delayed gastric emptying, consider alternative therapy.
