Overview Ziktrom 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 and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administer orally, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals, at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician. Complete the prescribed course, even if symptoms improve; premature cessation can cause relapse or infection exacerbation. Common, usually transient side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to use, disclose any history of cholestatic jaundice, liver impairment linked to azithromycin, allergies, or heart conditions. Consult your doctor before taking this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
