My first video after signing up. A link to the YouTube version would be useful to me, since I can dl youtu.be videos and the audio.

Not a doctor myself, but the lectures are fascinating and explain so much which is truly relevant. I always enjoy watching Mobeen and his sidekick, Loofie.

Azithromycin is an antibiotic used for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections.[3] This includes middle ear infections, strep throat, pneumonia, traveler's diarrhea, and certain other intestinal infections.[3] It can also be used for a number of sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia and gonorrhea infections.[3] Along with other medications, it may also be used for malaria.[3] It can be taken by mouth or intravenously with doses once per day.[3]
