Azithromycin (500mg)

Overview Azithm 500mg Tablet

A 500mg azithromycin tablet combats bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes in both adults and children. This antibiotic is also effective against typhoid and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administered orally, optimal absorption occurs one hour before or two hours after meals. Follow your physician's instructions for regular, evenly spaced dosing; complete the entire course, even with symptom improvement, to prevent relapse. Premature cessation may result in infection recurrence or exacerbation. Typical, usually transient, side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior azithromycin-induced cholestatic jaundice or hepatic impairment contraindicates use. Disclose any allergies or cardiac history before commencing treatment. Consult your doctor before using this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

If your symptoms haven't improved after three days of taking Azithm 500mg Tablet, or if they worsen, contact your doctor immediately.
Azithromycin 500mg tablets can cause diarrhea as a side effect. This is because, while effective against harmful bacteria, it also impacts beneficial gut bacteria. Consult your doctor if you experience severe diarrhea.
