What Azithromycin is prescribed for

Community-acquired pneumonia: adults with lung infection caught outside a hospital, caused by certain bacteria, who need to start treatment by IV.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): adults with an infection of the womb, fallopian tubes or ovaries, caused by certain bacteria, who need to start treatment by IV; another antibiotic is added if other germs (anaerobic bacteria) may be involved.

A prescription is required. Your prescriber decides whether Azithromycin is right for you.
