Can Double Dose Of Azithromycin By Error Cause Any Problems To The Patient?
The pharmacy gave me a stronger strength azithromycin than the dr gave me the instructions for and told me to half the dose but didn't tell me instead of givin I twice a day only give once a day. I gave her 2 doses yesterday. One in the morning and one in the evening. I just noticed I said once a day on the bottle! I feel so stupid!! Have I hurt my child? Please help!

just a single dose wont hurt for sure.it has some side effects that appears when its taken for a longer period of time.so need to worry,but be careful in the future.
