Avoid mixing Zithromax with grapefruit juice. Grapefruit interacts with the medication’s metabolism, potentially increasing its concentration in your blood and leading to side effects.
While Zithromax doesn’t directly react with most other drinks, consuming it with milk or other dairy products may slightly reduce absorption. For optimal absorption, take it with water.
Alcohol and Zithromax: A Cautious Approach
Combining Zithromax with alcohol isn’t recommended. Alcohol can worsen potential side effects like nausea and dizziness. It’s best to abstain from alcohol during your treatment period. Consult your doctor if you have concerns about this.
Hydration is Key
Drink plenty of water throughout your Zithromax treatment. Hydration helps flush the medication through your system and minimizes the risk of dehydration, a common side effect. Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily.
