What is Azithromycin?
Active Ingredients: Azithromycin
Azithromycin Capsules are an antibiotic drug used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, such as pneumonia, infections of the nose and throat, skin infections, Lyme disease, and some sexually transmitted infections. Azithromycin may be used by patients with hypersensitivity to penicillin.
Azithromycin, like all antibiotics, is not useful for the treatment of viral infections, such as the common cold.
Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum, semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. It is within the subclass known as azalides. The active ingredient works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which kills bacterial cells and prevents the growth of new ones. Azithromycin is effective against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
