Azee 200 mg Tablet DT

Azee 200 mg Tablet DT is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 200 mg of azithromycin in each 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 200 mg Tablet DT may be prescribed for infections involving the throat, chest, sinuses, ears, skin, or some sexually transmitted infections, depending on the doctor’s diagnosis. The DT formulation is meant to be dispersed in water, making the Azee 200 mg Tablet DT easier to take for people who have trouble swallowing.

How it works: Azithromycin in Azee 200 mg Tablet DT works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. Because this is a DT tablet, it can be dispersed in water and then swallowed, which helps the medicine be taken more comfortably while still delivering the full dose.

Azee 200 mg Tablet DT is a higher-strength tablet than Azee 100 mg Tablet DT, so it is generally chosen when a doctor wants more azithromycin in each dose. That can make dosing simpler for larger children or adults who need a prescribed amount based on their infection, weight, and treatment plan. It is not meant to be used as a casual self-start medicine, because the right dose and duration depend on the condition being treated.

• Bacterial throat and tonsil infections
• Sinus infections
• Ear infections
• Chest and lung infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Certain sexually transmitted infections

• Place the Azee 200 mg Tablet DT in a small amount of water and let it disperse before taking it, unless your pharmacist or doctor gives different instructions.
• Swallow the dispersed mixture right away and rinse the glass with a little more water to get the full dose.
• Take it exactly on the schedule prescribed; do not take extra tablets because this is a 200 mg strength.
• You can take azithromycin with or without food, but taking it after food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you start feeling better before the tablets are gone.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your prescriber or pharmacist specifically says it is okay for your brand pack.

Each Azee 200 mg Tablet DT provides 200 mg of azithromycin, so the number of tablets per dose depends on the prescription. Some infections use once-daily dosing, while others use a different schedule with a doctor-selected total dose; the maximum amount per day should only be what your prescriber orders. Because Azee 200 mg Tablet DT is a specific strength, it is important not to adjust the dose on your own.

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