Overview Methrox 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 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. Complete the entire prescribed course, even with symptom improvement; premature discontinuation may result in relapse or infection exacerbation. Common, typically transient, adverse effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical consultation. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any history of cholestatic jaundice, liver impairment related to azithromycin, allergies, or cardiac conditions.

If your symptoms don't improve after three days of taking Methrox 500 Tablet, or if they worsen, contact your doctor immediately.
Metrox 500 Tablet can cause diarrhea as a side effect. This is because, while it eliminates harmful bacteria, it also impacts beneficial gut bacteria. Consult your doctor if you experience severe diarrhea.
