Overview Azifoc Tablet

Azithromycin tablets, sold under the brand name Azifoc, are an 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. Oral administration is recommended, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals, with consistent dosing at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician. Complete the prescribed course of treatment; premature discontinuation may result in infection recurrence or exacerbation.
