Overview Azicol 250mg Tablet

This antibiotic, Azicol 250mg Tablet, combats bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes in both children and adults. It's also effective against typhoid fever and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administered orally, the recommended dosage is one tablet, ideally taken an hour before or two hours after meals. Consistent use, at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician, is crucial.
