Overview Ottazi 250 Tablet

Azithromycin 250mg tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic combating bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes in both adults and children. 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, following your physician's prescribed dosage schedule for consistent, evenly spaced intervals. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement; premature discontinuation may result in infection recurrence or exacerbation. Typical, usually transient, side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea; consult your doctor if these concerns persist or are severe. Prior to use, disclose any history of azithromycin-induced cholestatic jaundice, liver impairment, allergies, or cardiac issues. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical advice before commencing treatment.
