It belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Azee 250 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, skin, ears, or some sexually transmitted infections, depending on your doctor’s diagnosis.
