Azee 200 mg Dry Syrup

Description

Azee 200 mg Dry Syrup – Bottle

Composition (Per 5 ml reconstituted syrup):

• Azithromycin – 200 mg
  (Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic in the macrolide class. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thus preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying. It is effective against a wide variety of bacterial infections.)

Indications:

• Azee 200 mg Dry Syrup is commonly used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including:
  • Respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
  • Ear infections (otitis media).
  • Throat infections (pharyngitis or tonsillitis).
  • Skin infections, including acne.
  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia and gonorrhea.
  • Gastrointestinal infections such as traveler’s diarrhea.
  • Prophylaxis and treatment of infections in immunocompromised patients.

Dosage:

• As prescribed by a healthcare provider, but typical dosages include:
  • Adults: The standard dose for most infections is 500 mg on the first day (as a loading dose), followed by 250 mg daily for the next 4 days. The syrup is generally for pediatric use, so adult patients may prefer other forms such as tablets.
  • Children (depending on weight/age): A typical pediatric dose is 10 mg/kg on the first day, followed by 5 mg/kg daily for the next 4 days.
  • The syrup should be reconstituted according to the instructions (usually with a specified amount of water to form a solution with the prescribed concentration).

Reconstitution:

• Add the recommended amount of water to the dry syrup in the bottle to form a suspension. Shake well to mix thoroughly.
• The dosage is usually measured with a proper measuring spoon or syringe for accuracy.

Storage Instructions:

• Store the bottle in a cool, dry place at room temperature (between 15°C and 25°C).
• After reconstitution, the syrup should be stored in the refrigerator and used within 5-7 days.
• Do not freeze.

Warnings:

• Prescription Required: Azee 200 mg Dry Syrup should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
• Allergic Reactions: Azithromycin may cause allergic reactions. If you experience symptoms like a rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
• Liver or Kidney Issues: Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney disease, and dosage adjustments may be required.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Azithromycin is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it should be used only if prescribed by a doctor. It passes into breast milk, so consult your doctor if breastfeeding.
• Antibiotic Resistance: Do not use this medication for viral infections (such as the common cold or flu), as it will not be effective and may contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Important Notes:

• Side Effects: Common side effects of Azithromycin may include:
  • Gastrointestinal issues: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.
  • Rashes or skin reactions.
  • Dizziness or headache.

  If any serious side effects occur, such as severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat), discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.
