Overview Shivaz 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, consistently at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician. Complete the prescribed course of treatment; premature cessation may result in recurrence or exacerbation of the infection. Commonly reported adverse effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea; these are typically transient and resolve upon treatment completion. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior history of cholestatic jaundice or hepatic impairment associated with azithromycin necessitates avoidance of this medication. Pre-existing allergies or cardiac conditions should be disclosed to your doctor before initiating treatment. Consult your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
