You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed it you, and there will also be dosage and information on the pack. Zithromax comes in tablet form.

Zithromax should be stored at room temperature away from direct light and heat. Ensure that you always take the full course of tablets, even if you begin to feel well as relapses can occur if you do not complete the medication.
