What is Azithromycin Tablet IP 500 mg?

Azithromycin belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which stops bacteria from multiplying and allows the body’s immune system to fight off infection. The 500 mg dosage is commonly used for adults and adolescents, offering effective treatment for moderate to severe bacterial infections.

• Throat infections – tonsillitis, pharyngitis

How Azithromycin Works

The mechanism of action of azithromycin involves:

This unique action ensures effective treatment while maintaining a short duration of therapy.
