Aztra 250 Tablet

Aztra 250 Tablet contains Azithromycin 250 mg (as Azithromycin dihydrate) per tablet. Prescription required.

Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as upper and lower respiratory tract infections (pharyngitis/tonsillitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia), ear infections (otitis media), skin and soft tissue infections; also used for certain sexually transmitted infections 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. Usually taken once daily; can be taken with or without food (take with food if stomach upset occurs). Swallow whole with water and complete the full course even if you feel better.

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

Use only for bacterial infections (not viral). Complete the course to reduce resistance. Use with caution in liver disease, history of jaundice/hepatitis with azithromycin, myasthenia gravis, and in patients with heart rhythm problems (QT prolongation), low potassium/magnesium, or on QT-prolonging drugs. Seek urgent care for severe allergy (swelling, breathing difficulty), severe/persistent diarrhoea (possible C. difficile), or signs of liver injury (yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine).

Antacids containing aluminium/magnesium (separate dosing), warfarin/other anticoagulants (may increase bleeding risk), digoxin (increased levels), cyclosporine, statins (rare risk of myopathy), QT-prolonging medicines (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, certain antipsychotics/fluoroquinolones), ergot derivatives (avoid)

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protected from moisture and light. Keep in original pack and out of reach of children.
