Azithromycin (250mg)
Description:
Azax 500 Tablet contains azithromycin, a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic. Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and multiplication of susceptible bacteria. It achieves this by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacterial cells, which is essential for the process of translation, where genetic information is used to build proteins. By interfering with this crucial step, azithromycin effectively halts bacterial proliferation.
Azithromycin is known for its relatively long half-life, which allows for shorter courses of treatment compared to some other antibiotics. It also exhibits good tissue penetration, meaning it can reach high concentrations in various parts of the body, including the lungs, tonsils, sinuses, and skin, making it effective against infections in these areas.
Azax 500 Tablet, containing 500 milligrams of azithromycin, is commonly prescribed for a variety of bacterial infections. These include upper and lower respiratory tract infections such as acute bronchitis, pneumonia, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis. It is also effective against skin and soft tissue infections, such as cellulitis and impetigo. Additionally, azithromycin is a key antibiotic in the treatment of certain sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydial infections and non-gonococcal urethritis. In some cases, it may also be used to treat middle ear infections (otitis media) and certain atypical bacterial infections.
