Overview Zitrac 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 and certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea. Administer orally, ideally an hour before or two hours after meals, following your physician's prescribed dosage schedule for consistent, evenly spaced intervals. Complete the entire course of treatment, even with symptom improvement, to prevent recurrence or infection exacerbation. Common, typically transient side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and diarrhea. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any history of cholestatic jaundice, hepatic impairment associated with azithromycin use, allergies, or cardiac conditions. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
