Azilup

Product Overview

Azilup is an antibiotic medication containing Azithromycin as its active component. It falls under the macrolide class of antibiotics and is prescribed for treating various bacterial infections.

Uses

This medication is effective against multiple bacterial infections including respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, ear infections, and certain sexually transmitted diseases caused by susceptible bacteria.

How to Use

Take Azilup exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The tablets may be taken with or without meals, but should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water to minimize potential stomach discomfort. Do not crush or chew the tablets.

How it Works

Azithromycin, the active component, functions by blocking bacterial protein synthesis. This action prevents bacterial growth and reproduction, thereby eliminating the infection and alleviating symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage varies based on infection type, severity, patient age, and medical history. Strictly adhere to your healthcare provider’s instructions. Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve prematurely, as incomplete treatment may contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Common Side Effects

Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and headaches. These are typically mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if these persist or worsen.

Warnings

• Complete the entire prescribed treatment course regardless of symptom improvement
• Avoid aluminum/magnesium-containing antacids within 2 hours of taking Azilup as they may reduce absorption
