Description
Azithral 500 Tablet is a type of antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections, including those affecting your nose, throat, tonsils, ears, lungs, and skin. It helps by stopping the bacteria from growing and multiplying, allowing your body to fight off the infection more effectively. This medicine is not effective against viral infections, such as the common cold or flu.
Some people may experience mild side effects while taking Azithral 500, such as stomach pain, diarrhoea, nausea, or headaches. These usually resolve on their own, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. In rare cases, people may develop a serious allergic reaction with symptoms such as a rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. If this happens, seek medical help right away.
You can take this tablet with or without food, as advised by your doctor. Even if you start to feel better after a few days, it’s important to keep taking it for the full time your doctor prescribed. Stopping the medicine too early or skipping doses can allow the infection to come back and make it harder to treat in the future.
Azithral 500 should not be used if you are allergic to azithromycin or similar antibiotics. Let your doctor know if you have any heart, liver, or kidney conditions, or if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. This helps them decide if this medicine is safe for you to use.
Other tablets, such as Azithral 500, Azicip 500, Azax 500, and Azifast 500, also contain azithromycin as their main ingredient, and they work in a similar manner to Azithral 500. Always follow your doctor’s instructions when using any of these medications to ensure safe and effective treatment.
