Azithromycin 250mg tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is commonly prescribed for a variety of bacterial infections. Each pack contains 6 tablets, making it ideal for shorter courses of treatment, usually lasting 5 to 7 days. Azithromycin is effective in treating respiratory infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, skin infections, and sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia.

Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacteria from growing and reproducing. Due to its extended half-life, Azithromycin remains active in the body longer than many other antibiotics, allowing for shorter treatment durations.

Patients typically take 1 tablet per day, and treatment duration can vary depending on the infection being treated. Common side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions or liver problems.

It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication, to ensure the complete eradication of the infection and reduce the risk of resistance. Azithromycin 250mg is available in tablet form, which is easy to take and convenient for home treatment.
