The Z Pak is comprised of Zithromax tablets, a popular drug prescribed for many different bacterial infections. Since Zithromax is only available with a prescription, patients must consult their doctor or other qualified healthcare professional before they may receive the medication.

Zithromax is not available in generic form, so the drug can get expensive for patients to whom it is prescribed. Patients should therefore check with their insurance company to see if the drug is covered by their policy. When consulting with their doctors, patients should also determine whether or not they need to take the Z Pak. Their illness may be able to be treated with a less potent or less expensive type of antibiotic. If the patient is also taking antibiotics for another infection or illness, they may not be able to take the Z Pak at all.

While in the United States Zithromax, as well as other antibiotics, is only available by prescription, there has been an increase in internet pharmacy companies. Many of these companies advertise Zithromax as available in varying doses and strengths. They also advertise the drug as available in the Z Pak online for anywhere from 100 to 300 dollars and beyond, depending on the amount of pills and their strength. Determining if this is the right method of treatment for you, however, should be a well thought out decision. Purchasing such a potent drug without personally consulting your doctor is not a decision to make lightly.

Patients that do choose to consult with their doctors can get their prescriptions filled at their local pharmacy or drug store. Patients should go to a reputable establishment that they trust. If you have any more questions about the drug, you will be able to ask the druggist or pharmacist. These professionals should be well educated about the drug and its side effects. When you receive your medication, you will find the bottle may be marked with certain warning stickers. These are simply informational stickers designed to alert the patient to any side effects or signs to be wary of. You can ask the pharmacist to clear up any confusion if you are not sure what a certain sticker means.
