But the day I am taking it, I am getting loose motions up to 4 times a day and my body gets completely drained out. Is it a normal thing? Should I continue taking it or should I stop it right away?

Its not uncommon for Azithromycin to cause gastrointestinal side effects like loose motions. However, if its affecting your daily activities and draining you, its important to let your doctor know immediately. They may adjust your treatment or recommend a different approach to minimize discomfort.
