• Only use with a valid prescription — misuse can lead to antibiotic resistance. 
• Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems before taking this drug.
• Be careful if you have a known prolonged QT interval or are on other QT-prolonging medications.
• Use cautiously in patients with myasthenia gravis; azithromycin may worsen muscle weakness.
• Complete the full course even if symptoms improve early — stopping early may not fully eradicate the infection.
