Azithromycin antibiotic to prevent infection after cervical stitch
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking an antibiotic called azithromycin after cervical cerclage (a stitch placed in the cervix to prevent early labor) reduces infection risk during pregnancy. The goal is to help pregnancies continue safely to term.
