AZ3 250 mg Tablet

Az3 250 mg Tablet contains Azithromycin (250mg). Prescription required.

Bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections (pharyngitis/tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia), ear infections (otitis media), skin and soft tissue infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections (e.g., uncomplicated chlamydial infection) as prescribed.

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. This stops growth of susceptible bacteria and helps clear the infection.

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Usually taken once daily; may be taken with or without food (take with food if stomach upset occurs). Swallow with water and complete the full course even if you feel better.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, indigestion, headache, dizziness, rash

Not for viral infections (cold/flu). Use with caution in liver disease; stop and seek care if signs of hepatitis/jaundice occur. May cause allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty) and severe skin reactions (SJS/TEN)—seek urgent help. Can prolong QT interval/trigger arrhythmias; caution in patients with heart rhythm problems, low potassium/magnesium, elderly, or with QT-prolonging medicines. Diarrhoea may indicate C. difficile—seek medical advice if severe/persistent. Dose adjustment/monitoring may be needed in severe renal impairment.

Antacids containing aluminium/magnesium (reduce absorption; separate dosing), warfarin/other anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk/INR changes), QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, quinolones, some antipsychotics), digoxin (increased levels), cyclosporine (increased levels), ergot derivatives (avoid), nelfinavir (increased azithromycin exposure)
