Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) Overview
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), also known as tetrahydrocannabinol, is a cannabinoid. It is one of the over 80 constituents, known as cannabinoids, that have been identified from Cannabis sativa. THC is the major psychoactive compound of cannabis and is most often associated with the plant's recreational use. THC is known to produce a range of effects on the body and mind, including relaxation, altered senses, and changes in mood and cognition. THC has also been used to treat pain and anxiety symptoms.
Azithromycin Overview
-
Azithromycin is used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as bronchitis; pneumonia; sexually transmitted diseases (STD); and infections of the ears, lungs, sinuses, skin, throat, and reproductive organs. Azithromycin also is used to treat or prevent disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection [a type of lung infection that often affects people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)]. Azithromycin is in a class of medications called macrolide antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
-
Antibiotics such as azithromycin will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
