✔️ Side Effects:

✔️ Dosage & Administration

• Swallow the tablet or capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the medication unless specifically told to do so by your doctor.
• You can take this medicine with or without food. If you find that it upsets your stomach, try taking your dose alongside a light meal.
• If you are taking the liquid suspension form, shake the bottle thoroughly before each dose and use a proper medicine-measuring spoon or cup rather than a regular kitchen spoon.
• Continue taking this medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if you start to feel better after a few days.
• Always follow your doctor's exact instructions regarding how and when to take Azithromycin.

✔️ Interaction

• Antacids (containing magnesium, aluminium, or calcium): Can reduce the absorption of Azithromycin when taken at the same time, making the medicine less effective.
• Warfarin: May increase the risk of bleeding or bruising, requiring close monitoring of your blood clotting times.
• Digoxin: May increase the levels of digoxin in your blood, raising the risk of digoxin toxicity.
• Antiarrhythmic medicines (such as amiodarone): Taking these medicines with Azithromycin may increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems, especially in people with existing heart disease.
• Certain antipsychotic medicines: Some antipsychotic medicines may also increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms when taken with Azithromycin.
• Statins (such as atorvastatin): Taking Azithromycin with statins may rarely increase the risk of muscle-related side effects. Consult your doctor if you develop unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.
• Colchicine: Azithromycin may increase colchicine levels in the body, raising the risk of colchicine-related side effects and toxicity.

✔️ Overdose

Symptoms of an overdose of Az tablet include diarrhoea, loss of hearing, and feeling sick. In case you have consumed too much of this medicine, inform your doctor immediately or reach out to the nearby hospital.

✔️ Missed a Dose

Never miss your antibiotic medicine, as it can lead to treatment failure and progression of the infection.

If you miss any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule.

✔️ Storage:

Keep in a dry place away from light and heat. Keep out of the reach of children.
