Azithromycin (500mg)

Overview Kelaz 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. Administer orally, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals, consistently at the prescribed intervals. Complete the entire course of treatment as directed, even if symptoms improve; premature cessation may result in recurrence or exacerbation of the infection. Common side effects, typically transient and resolving upon treatment completion, include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior use of azithromycin resulting in cholestatic jaundice or liver impairment contraindicates the use of this medication. Patients with a history of allergies or cardiac conditions should disclose this information to their physician before initiating treatment. Consult a doctor before taking this antibiotic if pregnant or breastfeeding.
