Overview Laz 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, at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician.
