Azithromycin 250 mg

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibacterial. It acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby interfering with the growth of susceptible bacteria.

Its antibacterial activity depends on the susceptibility of the infecting organism. Azithromycin should be used only when a bacterial infection is proven or strongly suspected.

AZIMUL-250 should be taken only according to the dosage and duration prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.

The appropriate regimen varies according to:

Do not self-medicate with azithromycin or change the prescribed course without medical advice.
