Overview SH Azi 500 Tablet

Azi-500 (500mg) tablets are an antibiotic medication indicated for treating diverse bacterial infections affecting the respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and eyes in both pediatric and adult patients.

Oral administration is recommended, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals. Consistent dosing, at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician, is crucial.
