Resistance please: Only use antibiotics when needed. Never share antibiotics. Always complete course as instructed. Take unused medicine to local pharmacy for disposal. Azithromycin FAQs No. Your sexual partners should get treatment by completing the online consultation themselves to ensure it is safe for them to take and to have the correct information about the treatment.
