Product Overview

Neckcin 100 DT is a fast-dissolving tablet formulation containing Azithromycin, a macrolide-class antibiotic. These dispersible tablets are designed for easy administration by dissolving in water, particularly beneficial for patients who experience difficulty swallowing conventional tablets. As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, Azithromycin effectively treats various bacterial infections including respiratory tract infections, dermatological conditions, otitis media, and certain sexually transmitted infections.

Therapeutic Indications

This medication is prescribed for bacterial infections caused by susceptible pathogens. Clinical applications include:

• Respiratory infections (pneumonia, acute bronchitis, sinusitis)
• Dermatological infections (cellulitis, impetigo)

Note: This antibiotic demonstrates no efficacy against viral infections like influenza or common cold.

Administration Guidelines

3. Stir gently and consume immediately

Administer once daily on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals) unless otherwise directed. Complete the prescribed course even if symptoms resolve earlier. Tablets should not be chewed or crushed.
