Can azithromycin be used safely in patients with renal impairment and are dosage adjustments necessary to avoid complications?
1. Azithromycin is generally safe for patients with renal impairment as it is primarily eliminated via the liver, not the kidneys.
2. For renal impairment, azithromycin usually requires no dosage adjustments, as it is metabolized in the liver, sparing the kidneys.
3. Patients with renal issues can usually take azithromycin without dose changes due to its minimal kidney metabolism.
