Azithromycin Tablets are prescription antibacterial medicines containing azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic used to treat selected infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Oral azithromycin tablets are commonly available in 250mg and 500mg strengths, which matches the strength options currently described on your product page.

Depending on the diagnosis and bacterial susceptibility, azithromycin may be prescribed for selected respiratory tract infections, acute bacterial sinusitis, community-acquired pneumonia, uncomplicated skin and skin-structure infections, pharyngitis or tonsillitis in appropriate patients, and certain bacterial genital infections. Specific indications and dosing vary by patient, infection and treatment guideline.

Azithromycin does not treat viral infections such as the common cold or influenza. Antibiotics should be used only when a bacterial infection is confirmed or strongly suspected, because unnecessary or incorrect use can contribute to antimicrobial resistance.

Azithromycin works by binding to 23S ribosomal RNA within the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit. This interferes with bacterial protein synthesis and prevents susceptible bacteria from producing proteins required for normal growth and replication.

Azithromycin tablets can generally be taken with or without food, but they should be taken exactly according to the prescribed dose and schedule. The correct regimen depends on the condition being treated; a 250mg or 500mg strength should not be interpreted as a universal daily dose for every infection.

Patients should also avoid taking aluminum- or magnesium-containing antacids at the same time as azithromycin unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.

The most commonly reported adverse effects are diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting. Clinically important but less common risks include serious allergic reactions, liver injury, Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea and heart-rhythm effects including QT prolongation.

Azithromycin Tablets are used to treat selected bacterial infections caused by organisms susceptible to azithromycin.

Depending on the diagnosis, azithromycin may be used for conditions such as:

Acute bacterial sinusitis

Community-acquired pneumonia

Certain respiratory infections

Uncomplicated skin infections

Pharyngitis or tonsillitis in appropriate patients

Certain infections of the urethra or cervix

Selected pediatric ear infections under medical guidance

Azithromycin should not be used to treat ordinary colds, influenza or other viral illnesses.
The main benefit of azithromycin is treating susceptible bacterial infections by inhibiting bacterial growth and protein production.

When the infection-causing organism is susceptible, azithromycin can help control bacterial multiplication and allow the infection to resolve.

Azithromycin also remains in body tissues for a relatively prolonged period, which allows particular infections to be treated using specific once-daily or shorter-course regimens. However, the correct regimen varies by indication and must be prescribed appropriately.

It should not be described as universally effective because bacterial resistance can make azithromycin ineffective against certain organisms.
Take Azithromycin Tablets exactly in the dose, strength, frequency and duration prescribed by your healthcare professional.

Azithromycin tablets can be taken with or without food. Follow the prescribed treatment schedule and do not independently switch between 250mg and 500mg tablets.

Patients should not intentionally skip doses or stop treatment simply because they begin to feel better, unless they develop a serious reaction or their healthcare provider advises them to stop. Incorrect or incomplete use can reduce treatment effectiveness and contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Do not share antibiotics or use leftover azithromycin for another illness.
The most common side effects of azithromycin involve the digestive system.

Commonly reported effects include:

Diarrhea or loose stools

Nausea

Abdominal pain

Vomiting

Headache or dizziness in some patients

Current prescribing information reports diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting among the most frequent adverse reactions.

Serious but less common reactions can include severe allergic reactions, liver problems, severe or persistent antibiotic-associated diarrhea, QT prolongation and abnormal heart rhythms.

Seek prompt medical attention for breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or throat, fainting, severe palpitations, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or severe/persistent watery or bloody diarrhea.
