Azithromycin to prevent infection in planned C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a single dose of the antibiotic azithromycin before a planned C-section can prevent infections after delivery. It is for pregnant people with a singleton or twins who are not in labor or have not had their water break.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
