Azee 100 mg Tablet DT

Azee 100 mg Tablet DT is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 100 mg of azithromycin in each dispersible tablet. It belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Azee 100 mg Tablet DT may be chosen when a lower azithromycin strength is needed for children or other patients who require carefully adjusted dosing. The DT form means the tablet is meant to be dispersed in water before taking, which can make it easier to swallow.

How it works: Azithromycin works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. In Azee 100 mg Tablet DT form, the medicine is swallowed after dispersing in water, but it works the same way once absorbed into the body.

Azee 100 mg Tablet DT is the lower-strength sibling of Azee 200 mg Tablet DT, so it is better suited for patients who need smaller, more precise doses. This strength is often selected for pediatric dosing or stepwise dose adjustments, and the doctor may choose it to match body weight, infection type, and treatment plan. Because it is a 100 mg tablet, it is not the same as starting from a 200 mg tablet and splitting doses without medical advice.

• Bacterial throat and tonsil infections
• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Certain chest and lung infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Some other doctor-prescribed bacterial infections

Each Azee 100 mg Tablet DT provides 100 mg of azithromycin per tablet. The number of tablets taken, how often they are taken, and the maximum daily amount depend on the infection being treated, age, and body weight; your doctor decides the exact dose for this strength. Do not use more tablets than prescribed, even though this is a lower-strength product.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
