AZ Tablet 250 mg contains Azithromycin Dihydrate, a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying. This helps the body's immune system eliminate the infection and relieve symptoms effectively.

AZ Tablet is commonly prescribed for infections affecting the respiratory tract, ear, nose, throat, skin, and soft tissues, as well as certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) caused by susceptible bacteria. It is effective in treating conditions such as community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, acute bronchitis, and skin infections. Because of its excellent tissue penetration and prolonged half-life, Azithromycin provides sustained antibacterial activity, allowing for once-daily dosing and shorter treatment durations compared to many other antibiotics.

AZ Tablet is intended for the treatment of bacterial infections only and is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or influenza. To achieve the best therapeutic results and reduce the development of antibiotic resistance, patients should complete the entire prescribed course even if symptoms improve before treatment is finished.
