What is the recommended dosage for zithromax for a 200lbs male? I may have had C for over 6 months, I want to take some zithromax to make sure. Is it ok to take double the recommended dosage? I was thinking 1g a day for three days.

Would doubling the dosage be so bad? i may have had C for over 6 months..

Usually azithromycin (Zithromax) 1G (one gram) is given as a single dose.
You really shouldn't double the dose or take it for three days in a row. That's not how it's intended to be taken.
Talk to your doctor about this. They'll most likely give you 1G and if it doesn't clear up they may want to repeat the dose one more time. Good luck!

zithromax for C one time dose is the normal dosage for this regardless of the weight of the person. It also stays in your system for 4 to 5 days and continues to work.

1 gram as a single dose is enough
