Overview Kaithro 500 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 and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administer orally, ideally an hour before or two hours after food. Maintain consistent dosing intervals as directed by your physician; complete the prescribed regimen even with symptom improvement.
