Azirib 500 Tablet

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily; may be taken with or without food (take with food if stomach upset occurs). Swallow whole with water and complete the full course; avoid taking antacids containing aluminium/magnesium within 2 hours of the dose.

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.

Use only for suspected/confirmed bacterial infections (not viral). Use with caution in liver disease, history of cholestatic jaundice/hepatitis, myasthenia gravis, and in patients with QT prolongation/arrhythmias or low potassium/magnesium (risk of serious heart rhythm problems). Seek urgent care for severe allergy (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty) or severe/persistent diarrhoea (may indicate C. difficile). Dose adjustment/monitoring may be needed in severe renal impairment. May reduce effectiveness of oral typhoid vaccine.

Warfarin/other anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk), antiarrhythmics and QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, quinidine, certain antipsychotics/fluoroquinolones), ergot derivatives (avoid), digoxin (increased levels), cyclosporine (increased levels), antacids containing aluminium/magnesium (reduced absorption if taken together), statins (rare myopathy risk), nelfinavir

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
