Azusic-250 mg Tablet

Azusic-250 mg Tablet contains Azithromycin 250 mg. Prescription required.

Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as upper and lower respiratory tract infections (sinusitis, 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 and multiplication of susceptible bacteria and helps clear the infection.

Tablet to be taken 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 whole with water and complete the full course; avoid taking aluminium/magnesium antacids within 2 hours of the dose.

Use only for bacterial infections (not viral). Complete the prescribed course. Use with caution in liver disease, history of jaundice with azithromycin/macrolides, myasthenia gravis, and in patients with risk of QT prolongation/arrhythmias (existing QT prolongation, low potassium/magnesium, slow heart rate, use of QT-prolonging drugs). Seek urgent care for severe allergic reaction, severe diarrhoea (possible C. difficile), or signs of liver injury (yellowing of eyes/skin, dark urine).

Antacids containing aluminium/magnesium (reduce absorption), warfarin and other anticoagulants (may increase bleeding risk/INR), digoxin (may increase levels), ciclosporin (may increase levels), statins (rare risk of muscle toxicity), other QT-prolonging medicines (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, certain antipsychotics/fluoroquinolones), nelfinavir (may increase azithromycin levels).
