Azax 250 mg Tablet

Azax 250 mg Tablet is an oral antibiotic tablet that contains 250 mg of azithromycin in each tablet. It belongs to the macrolide antibiotic class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Doctors may prescribe Azax 250 mg Tablet for infections such as some throat, sinus, chest, skin, ear, or sexually transmitted infections when azithromycin is appropriate.
