Composition:
- Active Ingredient: Azithromycin 250 mg per tablet.
What is Azithromycin?
- Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. This helps to prevent bacteria from multiplying, allowing the immune system to clear the infection.
- Azithromycin is known for its long half-life, meaning it stays in the body longer and allows for shorter courses of treatment compared to many other antibiotics.
Indications (Uses):
Azee-250 Tablet is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including:
- Respiratory Tract Infections:
- Pharyngitis (sore throat)
- Tonsillitis
- Sinusitis
- Bronchitis
- Pneumonia (community-acquired)
- Ear Infections: Otitis media (middle ear infections).
- Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Such as cellulitis, impetigo, and other bacterial skin infections.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs):
- Chlamydia and Gonorrhea
- Gastrointestinal Infections: Such as Traveler’s Diarrhea caused by certain bacteria.
- Other Infections: Azithromycin is also used for various other bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms.
Dosage:
The typical dosage of Azee-250 Tablet depends on the type and severity of the infection being treated. Below are common dosing regimens for Azee-250:

- Acute Sinusitis:
- 500 mg once daily for 3 days.
- Chlamydia:
- A single 1,000 mg dose (i.e., 4 tablets of Azee-250) taken at once.
- Pharyngitis/Tonsillitis:
- 500 mg on Day 1, followed by 250 mg daily for the next 4 days (a total of 5-day treatment).
- Otitis Media (Middle Ear Infection):
- 500 mg once daily for 3 days.
Note: Dosages may vary based on the doctor’s instructions and the severity of the infection. Always follow the prescribed regimen.
How to Take Azee-250 Tablet:
- Oral Administration: Swallow Azee-250 tablet whole with a glass of water.
- It can be taken with or without food. However, if the tablet causes stomach discomfort, it can be taken with food.
- Do not crush or chew the tablet, as this can affect how the medication works.
Side Effects:
While Azee-250 is generally well tolerated, like all medications, it can cause side effects in some people. Common side effects include:
- Gastrointestinal issues:
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Stomach pain or discomfort
- Loss of appetite
- Headache
- Rash (occasionally)
- Dizziness
Serious Side Effects (Rare):
- Allergic reactions: Difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or throat, hives, or severe rash.
- Severe diarrhea: This may be caused by Clostridium difficile infection, leading to a more serious gastrointestinal condition.
- Liver damage: Signs include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), dark urine, or light-colored stools.
- Heart issues: Azithromycin can sometimes cause changes in heart rhythm, particularly in people with preexisting heart conditions.
If any of these more serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately.
Precautions:
- Allergies: If you are allergic to azithromycin, erythromycin, or any other macrolide antibiotics, do not take Azee-250 Tablet.
- Liver or Kidney Issues: Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney problems. Dose adjustments may be necessary.
- Heart Problems: Azithromycin can cause a heart rhythm disturbance known as QT prolongation, so it should be used cautiously in people with a history of heart disease or arrhythmias.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Azithromycin is generally considered safe during pregnancy (Category B). It also passes into breast milk, but is typically considered safe for use during breastfeeding. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Drug Interactions: Azithromycin can interact with some other medications, particularly those that affect the heart rhythm (e.g., antiarrhythmic drugs, certain antidepressants). Always inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking.
Drug Interactions:
- Antacids: Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may decrease the absorption of azithromycin, so if you need to take an antacid, wait at least 2 hours before or after taking Azee-250.
- Warfarin: Azithromycin can increase the effects of warfarin (a blood thinner), so blood clotting should be monitored regularly.
- Drugs that affect heart rhythm: Azithromycin may increase the risk of arrhythmias when combined with medications that also affect the QT interval.
Contraindications:
- Hypersensitivity to azithromycin or any other component of the tablet.
- Severe liver disease.
- QT prolongation or a history of arrhythmias.
Storage:
- Azee-250 Tablet should be stored at room temperature (20°C to 25°C or 68°F to 77°F), away from moisture and heat.
- Keep the tablets in their original packaging to protect them from light and humidity.
- Keep out of reach of children.
