Product Description
Azijub 500 mg Tablets contain azithromycin, a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Known for its convenient short-duration regimens due to long tissue half-life and high intracellular penetration. Indicated for community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbations of COPD, pharyngitis/tonsillitis, sinusitis, skin/soft tissue infections, otitis media, and uncomplicated genital infections (chlamydia, gonorrhoea). The 3-tablet pack provides a standard 1.5 g total dose regimen (500 mg once daily for 3 days), offering rapid onset and excellent efficacy against common pathogens. Benefits • Short 3-day treatment course – better compliance than longer antibiotics • Once-daily dosing • Excellent efficacy against respiratory pathogens (S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, Moraxella, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia) • High tissue penetration – effective for skin and soft tissue infections • Well tolerated with lower GI side effects than erythromycin • Suitable for penicillin-allergic patients (except macrolide allergy) How to Use • Adults: 500 mg (1 tablet) once daily for 3 days • Alternative regimens (e.g., chlamydia): single 1 g dose (2 tablets at once) – consult doctor • Take with or without food (food may reduce GI upset) • Swallow whole with water • Complete the full 3-day course even if symptoms improve earlier • Not for viral infections (colds, flu)
