Azithromycin (500mg)

Overview Zithrex 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, at evenly spaced intervals as directed by your physician. Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement, as premature discontinuation can result in relapse or treatment failure. Common, typically transient, side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Prior use of azithromycin resulting in cholestatic jaundice or liver impairment contraindicates its use. Disclose any prior allergies or cardiac conditions to your doctor before initiating treatment. Consult your physician before using this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
