Azicin 500 Tab (20X1X3) Azithromycin Tablets By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Azithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections, including some infections of the lungs, throat, sinuses, skin and other parts of the body. It does not work against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.

How does it work?
It stops susceptible bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply.

How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed and complete the full course, even if symptoms improve. Azithromycin tablets may usually be taken with or without food. Do not take aluminium- or magnesium-containing antacids at the same time; follow the advice of a doctor or pharmacist about spacing them.

Common side effects
Nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain, vomiting and headache.

Precautions
Tell the doctor if there is an allergy to azithromycin or other macrolide antibiotics, liver disease, or a history of irregular heartbeat or long QT syndrome. Seek medical help for severe or persistent diarrhoea, yellowing of the skin or eyes, a fast or irregular heartbeat, or signs of a serious allergic reaction.
