Brand nameNo maker’s card
We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Zithromax’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Zithromax’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.
Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Zithromax itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.

What to say at the pharmacy
“Before you fill my Zithromax, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”
Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
What it’s used for
- Pneumonia
- Sinus infections
- Flare-ups of chronic bronchitis
- Throat and tonsil infections (pharyngitis, tonsillitis)
- Ear infections
- Skin infections
- Infections of the urethra or cervix (urethritis, cervicitis)
- Genital ulcers in men
What the FDA label says
ZITHROMAX is a macrolide antibacterial drug indicated for treatment of patients with mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the specific conditions listed below:
- Acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis in adults
- Acute bacterial sinusitis in adults
- Uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections in adults
- Urethritis and cervicitis in adults
- Genital ulcer disease in men
- Acute otitis media in pediatric patients (6 months of age and older)
- Community-acquired pneumonia in adults and pediatric patients (6 months of age and older)
- Pharyngitis/tonsillitis in adults and pediatric patients (2 years of age and older)
Limitation of Use:
ZITHROMAX is not recommended in patients with pneumonia who are judged to be inappropriate for oral therapy because of moderate to severe illness or risk factors. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of ZITHROMAX and other antibacterial drugs, ZITHROMAX should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.

Good to know
- A regular generic may look different from Zithromax. The FDA requires it to work the same way.
- We didn’t find a savings card from Zithromax’s maker.
- Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
