MYCOAZITHER 500

MYCOAZITHER 500 is a prescription antibiotic tablet. Each tablet contains azithromycin 500 mg. Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., a WHO-GMP and ISO 9001-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, makes and markets it.

Azithromycin belongs to the macrolide (more precisely azalide) family of antibiotics. It works by attaching to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, the structure bacteria use to build proteins. Without new proteins, the bacteria cannot grow or multiply, and the body's immune system can clear them.

Azithromycin has some practical advantages. It collects inside body tissues and immune cells at levels far higher than in the blood, and it leaves the tissues slowly. This is why a short 3-day course can keep working for several days after the last tablet. It covers many of the bacteria that cause common respiratory, ENT, skin and genital infections, as well as some that cause typhoid.

Azithromycin fights bacterial infections only. It does not help viral illnesses, and using it when it is not needed adds to antibiotic resistance.

Product Information 

Why Is Azithromycin Important?

Bacterial infections can turn serious if they are not treated correctly, and in India, antibiotic choice and completion matter more than ever because of rising resistance. Azithromycin is important for these reasons.

1. Short, simple course. A 3-day course of one tablet daily is easy to remember, which helps people finish the treatment.
2. Broad usefulness. It covers throat, chest, sinus, ear, skin and genital infections, so it is a familiar option for many doctors.
3. Good tissue penetration. It reaches high levels in the lungs, tonsils and skin, where many infections settle.
4. Alternative for penicillin allergy. People who cannot take penicillins or related antibiotics often have azithromycin as an option.
5. Once-daily dosing. The schedule fits work, school and travel.
6. Works on "atypical" bacteria. It covers organisms such as Mycoplasma, Chlamydia and Legionella, which many other antibiotics miss.
7. Long clinical experience. Its benefits, precautions and interactions are well documented.
