I am starting 3 antibiotics longterm for multiple lung cond. can't figure out how to handle equally spaced doses! 3times a week, says be careful to take at same time etc. ok, 7 days in a week... even my algebra doesn't help😕. Help?
¿Qué antibiótico?
Azitromicina tiene una dosis profiláctica popular de 3 x 250 mg por semana, tomada el día 1, el día 3 y el día 5, luego el día 1 nuevamente, etc. Es decir, dejando un intervalo de 2 días en lugar de uno después de la tercera dosis. Parece funcionar bien para quienes lo tomamos y sugiero que otros antibióticos podrían estar bien en esa vía (en preferencia a tomarlo de manera complicada y confusa en tres momentos diferentes del día).
Thank you! Put my mind at ease...
I take them on Monday, Wednesday & Friday, first thing in the morning!
Hola JP
Estoy tomando Azitromicina 3 veces a la semana, que he estado tomando durante los últimos 12 meses. La tomo los lunes, miércoles y viernes a las 7 am, a la misma hora esos días.
También estoy tomando Tobramicina dos veces al día por inhalación, a las 9 am y a las 9 pm diariamente.
Esto funciona muy bien para mí, espero que esta información ayude un poco.

3 veces a la semana es cada dos días.
Absolutely does help. They could have been a little more clear when giving this to us.. or, to me! So thankful for your feedback.
I take azithromycin and the directions are every other day.
Didn't know to take it at the same time each time, but I do take it in the evening, so I'll make sure it's at the same time.
The things that you can learn on this website, this is great.

Agree!!
Hiya,
When I first started AZ it was 250ml every day for 30 days but the right dose is Mon / Wed / Fri every week,skip Sat / Sun. and for me it's the monings,is working well
Everyone has been so helpful! I was fretting over the instructions to take evenly spaced, same time of day. I am on 3 antibiotics now and all are 3 times a wk. i appreciate all the helpful clarifications from those of you who have been on meds for a while... thank you thank you!
hi i take mine on monday wednesday friday at 7am an hour before food
Thank you! That seems to be general consensus, and I appreciate your confirming. Take care.
I was prescribed to take the same antibiotic Mon, Wed and Fri. When I did take it, it made my Ulcerative Colitis flare up. So my family doctor suggested only taking it when I get a lung infection? Anyone else have his issue?
Secondly I feel awful with flu like symptoms. Tired, cold, . But no couching or phlegm. I always feel very poor in general which is frustrating but they have tested everything and keep saying it is just the bronnchectisos. This seems to get worse at times and is very frustrating.
