Azithromycin is used in daily PCD treatment, but not for its antimicrobial properties. This medication helps treat the inflammation in your lungs. You take it on an intermittent basis weekly but the dosage isn’t high enough to treat or prevent infections, it is meant to treat the inflammation in your lungs. The side effects of having less lung inflammation is that there are less places in your lungs for mucus to get stuck and pool and then breed infection. So while Azithromycin is an antibiotic, it isn’t being used as an antibiotic in PCD care, it’s being used to lower inflammation in the airways.
