Azirox Tablet 500 mg contains Azithromycin Dihydrate, a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic used for the treatment of various bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, skin, ear, throat, and certain sexually transmitted infections.

Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth and multiplication of bacteria. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, making it effective against a wide range of gram-positive, gram-negative, and atypical organisms.

Due to its long half-life and good tissue penetration, Azirox provides effective treatment with short-course therapy, improving patient compliance.
