What is Azithromycin tablets

Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the macrolide class, widely used to treat bacterial infections. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which halts bacterial growth and prevents the infection from spreading.

One of its key advantages is its long half-life, allowing for shorter treatment courses, often just 3 to 5 days. While generally well-tolerated, it may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort.
