Can Azithromycin (Antibiotic) Be Absorbed Through the Skin?

[Brooklyn NY]

Hi, can Azithromycin be absorbed through the skin?

I was giving this antibiotic to a house pet and got some on my arm. Although I quickly wiped it up and washed the area, I am concerned.

Thanks...

nah, not unless it's suspended in DMSO or some other gel that makes it transdermally active.
