If your symptoms don't improve after three days of taking Azifam 250mg Tablet, or if they worsen, contact your doctor immediately.
Azifam 250mg Tablets can cause diarrhea as a side effect. This is because, while the antibiotic targets harmful bacteria, it can also disrupt beneficial gut bacteria, leading to diarrhea. Consult your doctor if you experience severe diarrhea.
