Azithromycin (250mg)

Overview GZ 250mg Tablet

Azithromycin 250mg tablets 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, it's best taken an hour before or two hours after meals. Follow your physician's instructions for consistent, evenly spaced doses. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve; premature cessation may result in relapse or infection exacerbation. Common, typically transient side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical attention. Prior history of azithromycin-induced cholestatic jaundice or liver impairment contraindicates use. Disclose any allergies or cardiac conditions to your doctor before commencing treatment. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
