There is currently a shortage of all commercially available strengths of azithromycin oral suspension. If you or your patients are having difficulty getting azithromycin (Zithromax, Z Pack) prescriptions filled at a retail pharmacy due to manufacture backorder, Bayview Pharmacy may be able to help.
Bayview Pharmacy, Rhode Island's premier compounding pharmacy, has the ability to compound azithromycin in the following strengths:
100mg/5ml Flavored Oral Suspension
200mg/5ml Flavored Oral Suspension
Customized strengths are also available!
Prescriptions will need to be written with the request to compound, and an example of how you might prescribe follows:
Compounded Medication
Azithromycin 100mg/5ml
Flavored Oral Suspension
30ml
5mls on day 1 followed by 2.5mls on days 2-5
