Overview Bethro 500mg Tablet

Azithromycin 500mg tablets are prescribed to combat 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. Administered orally, optimal absorption occurs when taken one hour prior to, or two hours following, a meal. Consistent dosing at regular intervals, as directed by your physician, is crucial.
