Azithromycin 500 mg is sometimes prescribed for throat infections, but the dose and duration depend on the type and severity of the infection. Taking it without proper medical advice may not give the desired benefit. A doctor usually determines the correct dose after examining the throat and the patient's symptoms. Consult a doctor before starting or continuing this medicine.
