What are Azotek Tablets 250mg used for?

Azithromycin is a widely used antibiotic. Depending on the diagnosis, a doctor may prescribe Azotek Tablets 250mg for infections such as:

• respiratory tract infections, including certain chest, throat and sinus infections;
• skin and soft-tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria;
• ear infections;
• other bacterial infections as diagnosed by a doctor.

Dermatologists sometimes prescribe azithromycin for certain inflammatory skin conditions as well. Antibiotics do not work against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.

How Azotek Tablets 250mg work

Azithromycin binds to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes and blocks bacterial protein synthesis. This stops susceptible bacteria from growing and multiplying, giving your immune system the chance to clear the infection. Azithromycin stays in the body’s tissues for a long time, which is why treatment courses are often shorter than with some other antibiotics.

How to take Azotek Tablets 250mg

• Take Azotek Tablets 250mg exactly as your doctor or pharmacist tells you. The dose and number of days depend on the infection, your age, weight and medical history.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, at the same time each day.
• Complete the full course, even if you feel better after a few days. Stopping early can allow the infection to return and contributes to antibiotic resistance.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one. Do not take a double dose.
• If you take antacids containing aluminium or magnesium, take them at a different time from your antibiotic — ask your pharmacist about timing.

The NHS guide to azithromycin gives further patient information about taking this medicine.

Possible side effects

Like all medicines, Azotek Tablets 250mg can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects include:

• nausea, stomach pain or indigestion;
• diarrhoea or loose stools;
• headache;
• changes in taste.

Stop taking the medicine and get urgent medical help if you notice signs of a serious allergic reaction (swelling of the face, lips or throat, difficulty breathing, widespread rash), severe or bloody diarrhoea, a fast or irregular heartbeat, fainting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Who should not take Azotek Tablets 250mg?

Tell your doctor before taking Azotek Tablets 250mg if you:

• are allergic to azithromycin, erythromycin or any other macrolide antibiotic;
• have liver or kidney problems;
• have a heart rhythm problem (such as QT prolongation) or low potassium or magnesium levels;
• have myasthenia gravis;
• are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding;
• take other medicines, including blood thinners, heart medicines or other antibiotics.

Using antibiotics responsibly

Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in Pakistan and worldwide. When antibiotics are taken without need, in the wrong dose or for too short a time, bacteria can become resistant and future infections become harder to treat. The World Health Organization explains why antibiotics should only be used when prescribed by a qualified health professional. Never share your Azotek Tablets 250mg with others or keep leftovers for later.

When to contact your doctor

Contact your doctor if your symptoms do not start to improve within two to three days of starting Azotek Tablets 250mg, if they get worse, or if you develop a new fever, rash or severe stomach symptoms. Some infections need a different antibiotic or further tests. Also speak to your doctor before starting any new medicine, herbal remedy or supplement while you are taking azithromycin, so they can check for interactions.
