Overview AZ 500mg Tablet

This antibiotic, AZ 500mg Tablet, combats bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes in both adults and children. It's also effective against typhoid fever and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administered orally, it's best taken an hour before or two hours after meals, consistently at equally spaced intervals as directed by your physician.

However, persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention.
