Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

Azithromycin is an antibiotic which is a prescription medication for acne.

It is supposed to be taken under a doctor's supervision.

We usually prescribe it in the dosage of 3 tablets per week for 6- 8 weeks.

Please get it prescribed by your dermatologist and do not use such medicines over the counter.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
