Holy macaroni! Most upper respiratory infections are viral, and don't respond to antibiotics. If you think you need bedrest for a cold or sinusitis, talk with your health care provider about the need for a repeat exam.

How long does zithromax stay in your body after taking a singe dose?

Zithromax contains azithromycin which is a macrolide antibiotic and is used for bacterial infections including STD bacterial infection. In STD its dose is 4 tablets once only. Because 4 tablets of Zithromax are much higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration for STD bacteria. These 4 tablets are sufficient to treat STD because the terminal half life of Zithromax is 68 hours and complete drug elimination will take place in about 150 hours.
