Introduction
Azisence 500
Azisence 500 is a brand of azithromycin 500 mg, a macrolide antibiotic used to treat bacterial infection.
How It Works
Azisence 500 stops bacterial growth by blocking protein synthesis in bacteria cells, allowing the immune system to clear the infection. It has a long half-life, enabling once-daily dosing for convenience.
Uses
This tablet treats respiratory infections like pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis; throat infections such as tonsillitis; skin and soft tissue infections; ear infections; and certain STIs like chlamydia.
Benefits
It provides quick symptom relief, works against a broad range of bacteria, supports shorter treatment courses, and suits those unable to take penicillin. Patients often tolerate it well with fewer doses needed.
Disadvantages
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and headache. Rare risks involve heart rhythm changes, liver issues, or allergic reactions like rash and swelling.
Precautions
Complete the full course to avoid resistance, even if symptoms improve. Avoid antacids within 2 hours, alcohol, and use caution if pregnant, breastfeeding, or with liver/kidney/heart conditions. Consult a doctor for allergies to macrolides or myasthenia gravis
