Overview Azem 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 adult and pediatric patients. This medication is also effective against typhoid fever and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea.
