Overview ACT 500mg Tablet

Azithromycin 500mg tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic indicated for bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes in both adults and children. This medication is also effective against typhoid fever and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administer orally, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals, consistently following your doctor's prescribed schedule. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve; premature discontinuation can result in relapse or infection recurrence. Common side effects, often transient, include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to use, disclose any history of cholestatic jaundice, liver impairment related to azithromycin, allergies, or cardiac conditions.
