Overview ZIK 500mg Tablet

Azithromycin 500mg tablets 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 a meal. Consistent, evenly spaced dosing, as directed by your physician, is crucial. Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement; premature cessation may result in recurrence or infection exacerbation. Common, typically transient side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea, usually resolving upon treatment completion. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical consultation. Prioritize informing your doctor about any allergies, heart conditions, or past instances of cholestatic jaundice or hepatic impairment linked to azithromycin before commencing treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
