Overview Althor 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, following your doctor's prescribed dosage schedule for consistent, evenly spaced intervals. Complete the entire course of treatment, regardless of symptom improvement; premature discontinuation may result in infection recurrence or exacerbation. Common, typically transient side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea; these usually resolve upon treatment completion. Seek medical advice if side effects are severe or persistent. Prior to initiating treatment, patients with a history of azithromycin-induced cholestatic jaundice or hepatic impairment, allergies, or cardiac conditions should inform their physician. Pregnant or lactating individuals should consult their doctor before using this medication.
