The standard dosing regimen for azithromycin when treating many infections starts with a higher dose on the first day, followed by lower doses on the subsequent days. The correct choice is 250 mg at 0800 the next day, as it follows the typical dosing pattern of a "loading dose" followed by smaller "maintenance doses."
