Azithromycin is a powerful antibiotic that’s commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Azee 500 works by stopping bacteria from growing, helping your body fight off infection more effectively.
Here are some common conditions azithromycin is used for:
Respiratory infections – like bronchitis, pneumonia, or sinus infections
Throat and ear infections – including strep throat and earaches
Skin infections – such as infected cuts, acne, or rashes caused by bacteria
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) – like chlamydia or gonorrhea
Traveler’s diarrhea – sometimes used if it's caused by certain bacteria
Doctors often choose azithromycin because it’s easy to take (usually just once a day for a few days), and it stays in your system for a while to keep fighting the infection even after you stop taking it.
⚠️ Important: Azithromycin only works against bacterial infections—not viruses like the flu or a common cold. Always take it exactly as prescribed, and don’t share it with others.
If you're unsure whether it's right for your condition, it's best to check with your healthcare provider.
