Overview Retrazith 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 adult and pediatric patients. This medication is also effective against typhoid fever and certain sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea. Administer orally, ideally one hour before or two hours after meals, ensuring consistent dosing intervals as directed by your physician. Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement; premature discontinuation may result in recurrence or exacerbation of the infection. Common adverse effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea, generally resolving upon treatment completion. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical consultation. Prior use of azithromycin causing cholestatic jaundice or hepatic impairment contraindicates use.
