Azithromycin 150 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet-Avian) is a compounded antibiotic formulation designed to combat bacterial infections in avian species. This potent antibiotic is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Mycoplasma species. It is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and gastrointestinal infections in birds.

While Azithromycin is generally well tolerated, it may cause gastrointestinal upset in some birds, including symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In rare cases, it may also trigger an allergic reaction. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor your bird's health closely during the course of treatment.

It is important to note that Azithromycin should not be administered to birds with a known hypersensitivity to macrolide antibiotics. Additionally, caution should be exercised when treating birds with hepatic impairment, as this could lead to increased levels of the drug in the body. Azithromycin should also be avoided in birds with a history of long QT syndrome, as it may increase the risk of arrhythmias.

Azithromycin may interact with other medications, including antacids, anticoagulants, and other antibiotics. It may also interact with certain supplements, such as St. John's wort. Therefore, it is essential to inform your veterinarian of all medications and supplements your bird is currently taking before starting treatment with Azithromycin.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Azithromycin 150 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet-Avian) is a compounded formulation specifically designed for avian use. This antibiotic medication is highly effective in treating a wide range of bacterial infections in birds, including but not limited to respiratory, skin, and gastrointestinal infections. It functions by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, thereby helping to combat the infection.

The medication is available in a liquid form, which ensures a uniform dispersion of the active ingredient throughout the medium. This homogeneous mixture is easy to administer to birds, making it a convenient choice for pet owners and veterinarians alike. The recommended dosage for birds is typically 5-10 mg/kg body weight, administered orally once daily for a period of 5-7 days. However, the exact dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the bird's overall health status. Therefore, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your veterinarian.

While Azithromycin is highly effective against bacterial infections, it is important to note that it is not designed to treat viral infections. Furthermore, even if your bird appears to be improving, it is essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your veterinarian. This is to ensure that the infection is completely eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
