Why Canadians love Maple
Frequently asked questions
Maple 101
Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.
Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.
As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

About azithromycin
Azithromycin is an antibiotic that is commonly used in Canada to treat severe bacterial infections. It does this by stopping bacteria growth. It starts working within two hours of taking your first dose and takes about one week for the medication to completely cure a chlamydial infection. In some cases it can take up to two weeks for the infection to go away. If you’re sexually active during this time, you can pass the infection to your partner(s), even if you have no symptoms.
Azithromycin can be used to treat different forms of bacterial infections including ear infections, pneumonia, strep throat, sinusitis, traveler’s diarrhea, and more. It’s important to note that Azithromycin is not meant for viral infections.
Azithromycin typically comes in a tablet form or oral suspension. It can be taken with or without food and it is best to take it at the same time every day.
Azithromycin may cause an upset stomach which could lead to diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and nausea. Although these side-effects are fairly common, if they persist or new issues arise, it’s important to consult with a doctor. Diarrhea may occur two months or more after you’ve stopped using this medicine. Don’t take any medicine to treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor. Diarrhea medicines may make the diarrhea worse or make it last longer.
Azithromycin should not be taken by those who have allergies or other adverse reactions to the contents of the medication.
You should also avoid this medication if you’ve ever had hypersensitivity to erythromycin or other macrolide antibiotics.
Azithromycin is generally considered to be safe to take during pregnancy if you have an infection that requires treatment. However, depending on your type of infection, other antibiotics may be more suitable for you. Please seek medical advice if you’d like to take Azithromycin while breastfeeding.
Antacids can make Azithromycin less effective, so avoid taking Aluminum or Magnesium-containing antacids two hours before or two hours after taking Azithromycin. If any sign of an allergic reaction, such as a rash or difficulty breathing, occurs, discontinue Azithromycin immediately and seek medical advice.
Other commonly prescribed medications that Azithromycin interacts with include birth control pills, warfarin, and digoxin.
There aren’t any particular foods to avoid. However, your stomach may feel better if you avoid foods that are too greasy or sour.
You can consume alcohol in moderation alongside the medication. However, alcohol consumption will likely worsen the side effects of the drugs.
If you miss a dose of your Azithromycin prescription, take it as soon as possible. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Avoid double doses.
Azithromycin in Canada can be used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria. However, in many cases, antibiotics are not needed for ear pain. If you’re experiencing pain in your ear, nose, and throat or if you have a skin rash, seek medical advice. Ear infections can be diagnosed by a Canadian-licensed doctor.
You can’t get Azithromycin without a prescription, as Azithromycin is not available over-the-counter in Canada. However, a doctor on Maple can write you a prescription for Azithromycin online if deemed necessary. Please note that Azithromycin is also known by its brand name Zithromax.
Azithromycin and alcohol interaction can worsen the medication’s side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, lightheadedness, liver issues, and more.
Maple connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers online in Canada via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation. If the doctor deems it necessary, you’ll be able to get an online prescription.
Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can examine you as needed, ask questions about your symptoms, go through your health history, and determine if azithromycin is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person, hands-on examination.
Once you talk to a doctor on Maple and they determine an online prescription for azithromycin is right for you, you’ll have the option to send the prescription to a local pharmacy or you can get your medication delivered within one to two business days at no extra cost.
