Is Azithromycin Intake Advisable Before Travelling?
We are travelling to South America from Brazil to Peru in March. Have just gotten our malaria tabs and also Azithromycin 500mg x 2 - take 2 immediately - these were prescribed Dec 2015. Are these tabs for us while we are travelling in case we get an infection or do we take them before we leave? I have an appointment to see my doc this Friday
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if you are moving to another continental then it is advisable to have prophylaxis for malaria and you can even carry the medicine with you in case if you ever have infection there, hope this information helps.
