Overview Avthro 500mg Tablet

Azithromycin 500mg tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic indicated for treating 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 physician's prescribed dosage schedule and evenly spaced intervals. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement, as premature discontinuation may result in infection recurrence or exacerbation. Potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea; these are generally transient and resolve upon treatment completion. However, persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to use, disclose any history of cholestatic jaundice, hepatic impairment associated with azithromycin, allergies, or cardiac conditions. Consult your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
