It is especially effective against intracellular bacteria and atypical pathogens that other antibiotic classes struggle to reach. It is an excellent choice when popeye, gill disease, or skin ulcers have not responded to standard antibiotics, and is one of the shortest treatment courses available at just 5–6 days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAbout This Product\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAzithromycin is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial microorganisms. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis — stopping bacteria from reproducing rather than directly killing them — which gives the fish's immune system the opportunity to clear the infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tablet contains USP-grade azithromycin 250mg. The macrolide class is particularly well-suited for infections involving intracellular bacteria and atypical organisms that can be difficult to treat with penicillin- or fluoroquinolone-class antibiotics. It offers one of the shortest treatment courses of any aquarium antibiotic at 5–6 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso commonly searched as: \u003cem\u003efish azithromycin, azithromycin for fish, z-pack fish antibiotic, fish zithro equivalent, aqua zithro equivalent, macrolide fish antibiotic.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCommonly Treats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopeye (exophthalmia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGill disease \u0026amp; gill infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin ulcers \u0026amp; open wounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacterial fin rot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntracellular bacterial infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtypical gram-positive infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRespiratory distress (bacterial origin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfections unresponsive to other antibiotic classes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetermine your dose: Use one 250mg tablet per 10 gallons of aquarium water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDissolve the tablet in a small amount of aquarium water before adding to the tank.
