AZM 250 Mg

AZM 250 mg tablets contain azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, such as respiratory infections (bronchitis, pneumonia), ear infections, skin infections, and certain sexually transmitted diseases. It is particularly effective against infections caused by bacteria like Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Haemophilus.

Azithromycin works by inhibiting the protein synthesis of bacteria, effectively stopping their growth and spread. The 250 mg dosage is often prescribed in a multi-day course, commonly in the form of a “Z-pack” where a higher dose is taken on the first day, followed by smaller doses in subsequent days.

Usage: The medication is typically taken once daily, with or without food. It’s essential to follow the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve early, to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Common Side Effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, and dizziness. In rare cases, more serious side effects like liver problems, severe allergic reactions, or heart rhythm issues may occur. Patients are advised to seek medical attention if these serious reactions arise.

As with any antibiotic, it’s important to use AZM 250 mg as prescribed by a healthcare provider, and not for viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
