Azee 500 MG Description

Azee 500 is an antibiotic medicine that is used to treat bacterial infections in different parts of the body. It is effective against infections of the chest (pneumonia), sinus, ears, lungs, skin, throat and reproductive organs like gonorrhoea and chlamydia. This medicine contains azithromycin, which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that can kill various bacteria responsible for the infection.

It is important to take Azee 500 tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking them if you feel better within a few days. Always finish the course of antibiotic medicine for effective treatment.

Common side effects of Azee 500 tablets include nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach pain and headache. However, not everyone experiences these symptoms. If you experience severe symptoms or if they do not go away, inform your doctor immediately. The tablets Azithral 500, Azicip 500, Azax 500 and Azifast 500 also contain azithromycin as their main ingredient.

It is important to note that antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections and not against viral infections like flu or cold. Using an antibiotic unnecessarily can make them ineffective for future infections.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding and provide your detailed medical history.
