One of the world best known antibiotics is Azithromycin. Developed in 1980 and patented in 1981, the drug has been known to both prevent and treat various types of bacterial infections such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, throat infections, pneumonia, middle ear infections and bronchitis. In the last few years, it has been discovered that Lyme disease and late-onset asthma patients may also benefit from taking this powerful drug. When combined with other drugs, it has also been used to help in the treatment of malaria. Azithromycin is available in both oral liquid and tablet forms and can also be used intravenously. Azithromycin manufacturers and suppliers are plenteous and available in most countries, although the exact name of the drug may be different.
