Zithromax (Azithromycin), sometimes called the Z-pack, is a highly popular and highly potent antibiotic sold by Pfizer. It can cause severs liver damage and liver failure resulting in death or requiring a liver transplant after very few doses due to its potency.

This is reflected in the fact that it is usually dispensed in a short term (three and five day) titration pack with far fewer individual doses than other antibiotics. It is used for treatment of mild to moderate infections and is often taken as one pill per day.

Common symptoms of liver damages are:

• Yellow Eyes
• Jaundice
• Nausea
• Abdominal pain
• Clay-colored stool
• Dark urine

Zithromax is frequently used to treat respiratory infections in adults and children. In adults, these infections include certain types of bronchitis and pneumonia. Zithromax is used to treat some skin infections and sexually transmitted diseases in adults. In children, Zithromax has also been prescribed to treat certain ear infections and pharyngitis/tonsillitis.
