Azithromycin (500mg)

Overview Sethro 500mg Tablet

Azithromycin 500mg tablets are prescribed to 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. Administered orally, the optimal timing is one hour before or two hours after meals. Consistent use at equally spaced intervals, as directed by your physician, is crucial. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement; premature cessation might result in infection recurrence or exacerbation. Common, generally transient side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea, usually resolving upon treatment completion. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical consultation. Prior to initiating treatment, disclose any history of cholestatic jaundice, liver impairment related to azithromycin use, allergies, or heart conditions. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical advice before commencing this medication.

If your symptoms haven't improved after three days of taking Sethro 500mg, or if they worsen, contact your doctor immediately.
Sethro 500mg Tablets can cause diarrhea as a side effect. This is because, while the antibiotic targets harmful bacteria, it can also disrupt beneficial gut bacteria, leading to diarrhea. Consult your doctor if you experience severe diarrhea.
