It can also be used to treat sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Azithromycin is available in its' oral form and can be taken once or twice a day, depending on the type of infection being treated. This medication is generally well tolerated and can be an effective treatment option for those suffering from bacterial infections.
