Overview Leozith 500 Tablet

Azithromycin 500mg 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. Administer orally, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals, following your physician's prescribed dosage schedule for consistent, evenly spaced intervals. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement, to prevent relapse. Premature discontinuation may result in infection recurrence or exacerbation. Potential side effects, often transient and resolving upon treatment completion, include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to use, disclose any history of cholestatic jaundice, liver impairment related to azithromycin, allergies, or heart conditions.
