Azithromycin (Eq. to Azithro 100mg/200mg) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Azithromycin belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping the growth of bacteria.

• Azithromycin 100mg/200mg is commonly prescribed for infections such as respiratory infections (like pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis), skin infections, ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections (such as chlamydia and gonorrhea). It is also used for treating certain types of gastrointestinal infections caused by Campylobacter or Shigella bacteria.

Azithromycin has a long half-life, which allows for once-daily dosing and often a shorter treatment course compared to other antibiotics. It is generally well-tolerated, though side effects can include gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
