Can I take azithromycin while traveling even if I do not have blood in my stool?

Yes, you can take azithromycin while traveling even if you do not have blood in your stools. It is recommended to take the antibiotic if you have 4 or more liquid stools per day, if your liquid stools are accompanied by fever/chills, mucus, or very painful cramps. Azithromycin is often the best choice for treating diarrhea while traveling in Asia. Additionally, continuing to take probiotics may help reduce the risk of experiencing diarrhea symptoms again during your trip.
