Azithromycin is a modern antibiotic that is active against almost all pathogens of bacterial origin, including sexually transmitted infections. The principle of the drug is to stop the growth of bacteria in the body. Under the action of the drug, the immune system is strengthened and the body intensively destroys the remaining bacteria. Azithromycin is also used to treat opportunistic infections in HIV-infected people. Like dexamethasone, azithromycin is on the World Health Organization (WHO) list of essential medicines, i.e. the most effective and safe medicines needed in the health care system. Azithromycin is the generic name for a prescription drug that you can buy from an online pharmacy called Zithromax.
