Bacterial infections such as ear infection (otitis media), throat/tonsillitis/pharyngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and skin/soft tissue infections, as prescribed

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, stopping bacterial growth and helping clear susceptible infections.

Oral suspension: Shake well before each dose. Measure with a dosing syringe/cup. Give exactly as prescribed, usually once daily; may be taken with or without food (give with food if stomach upset). Complete the full course; reconstitute with boiled and cooled water up to the mark if supplied as dry syrup.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, rash

Use only for bacterial infections (not for viral cold/flu). Inform doctor if history of allergy to macrolides, liver disease, jaundice with antibiotics, heart rhythm problems/QT prolongation, or myasthenia gravis. Stop and seek care if severe allergy, severe/persistent diarrhea (possible C. difficile), or signs of liver injury (yellowing of eyes/skin, dark urine). Dose adjustment may be needed in severe hepatic impairment. Use cautiously in infants/children as directed by pediatrician.
