AZ Suspension 200 mg/5 ml contains Azithromycin Dihydrate, a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children and adults who prefer a liquid formulation. Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying. This enables the body's immune system to eliminate the infection effectively and relieve associated symptoms.

The oral suspension formulation is particularly suitable for pediatric patients and individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets. AZ Suspension is commonly prescribed for infections of the ear, nose, throat, respiratory tract, skin, and soft tissues, as well as certain bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. Thanks to its excellent tissue penetration and long half-life, Azithromycin provides prolonged antibacterial activity and is typically administered once daily, making treatment convenient and improving patient compliance.

AZ Suspension is effective only against bacterial infections and should not be used to treat viral illnesses such as the common cold or influenza. Completing the full prescribed course is important to ensure complete eradication of the infection and help reduce the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
