What is a z pack?

A Z-Pak is a common name for a specific antibiotic treatment that contains azithromycin, which is used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory infections, skin infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. It typically comes in a five-day course, with a higher dose taken on the first day followed by lower doses on subsequent days. Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth of bacteria. It is important to use this medication only as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
