Overview Azla 500mg Tablet

A 500mg Azla 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 fever and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administer orally, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals, following your physician's prescribed schedule for consistent, evenly spaced doses. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement; premature discontinuation may cause infection recurrence or exacerbation. While common temporary side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea (typically resolving upon treatment completion), persistent or concerning effects necessitate medical consultation. Prior to use, disclose any history of azithromycin-induced cholestatic jaundice, hepatic impairment, allergies, or cardiac conditions. Pregnant or lactating individuals must seek medical advice before commencing treatment.
