Overview Izamed 500mg Tablet

Azithromycin 500mg tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic indicated for bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes in both pediatric and adult patients. This medication is also effective against typhoid fever and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea.

Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement; premature discontinuation may result in relapse or infection recurrence. Common, generally transient, side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea; persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical attention.
