Treatment Record

Detailed Treatment Process

Outcome of Treatment

Temperature returned to normal.

Outcome Analysis

Azithromycin works in part because phagocytes tend to engulf the drug, resulting in higher concentrations of azithromycin around bacteria than in other areas, which helps kill the bacteria. This is somewhat like a targeted missile effect. However, food can easily affect its absorption, so it is best to take the medicine at times that avoid meals. This detail is important for ensuring the drug’s effectiveness.
