Azithromycin (500mg)

Overview Azel 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 pediatric and adult patients. 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 with consistent intervals. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement, as premature discontinuation may cause relapse or infection exacerbation. Commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea, which usually resolve upon treatment completion. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical consultation. Prior to initiating treatment, disclose any history of azithromycin-induced cholestatic jaundice, liver impairment, allergies, or cardiac conditions. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
