Overview Azustan 500 Tablet

For adults and children, the antibiotic Azithromycin 500mg tablets combats bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes. It's 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 doctor's prescribed dosage schedule at regular intervals. Complete the entire course, even if symptoms improve; premature discontinuation can cause the infection to recur or worsen. Potential side effects—such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea—are usually transient and resolve upon treatment completion. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, individuals with a history of azithromycin-induced cholestatic jaundice or liver impairment, allergies, or heart conditions should consult their physician. Pregnant or lactating women must seek medical advice before using this medication.
