My dad, who's 60, has been prescribed Azee 500 three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for his COPD, along with some other inhalers. I think Azee 500 is an antibiotic, but I'm worried if it's alright to take an antibiotic for as long as 3 months. Could you shed some light on this?

Azee 500 (Azithromycin) is an antibiotic, and while it's typically used for short-term treatment, long-term use can sometimes be necessary for chronic conditions like COPD to prevent bacterial infections. However, extended use should be monitored closely by a doctor to avoid side effects like resistance or disruption of gut bacteria. Its essential to follow the prescribed regimen and attend regular check-ups.
