Azee XL 100 mg/5 mL Dry Syrup

Azee XL 100 mg/5 mL Dry Syrup is an azithromycin antibiotic in syrup form, made by Cipla, India. Each reconstituted bottle contains azithromycin at a strength of 100 mg per 5 mL, which allows the dose to be measured accurately for children or adults who need a lower-strength liquid. It is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. A doctor chooses Azee XL 100 mg/5 mL Dry Syrup when an oral liquid antibiotic is the right fit and the lower concentration helps with flexible dosing.

How it works: Azithromycin stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and spread. In Azee XL 100 mg/5 mL Dry Syrup, the medicine is already in a liquid-ready form after mixing, making it easier to take and to measure the prescribed dose accurately.

Azee XL 100 mg/5 mL Dry Syrup is the lower-strength liquid option compared with Azee XL 200 mg/5 mL Dry Syrup. It may be preferred when a smaller, more precise dose is needed, especially for younger patients or anyone who cannot take tablets. This strength does not work faster than the higher-strength syrup, but it can make measuring and adjusting the prescribed dose easier.

• Bacterial throat infections
• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Some chest and lung infections
• Certain skin infections

• Mix the dry syrup with the amount of water directed on the bottle label or package insert before each use.
• Shake the bottle well before every dose so the medicine is evenly distributed.
• Measure each dose with an oral syringe or dosing spoon, not a household teaspoon.
• Take it exactly at the time and for the number of days your doctor prescribes, even if symptoms improve sooner.
• It may be taken with or without food; taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset if needed.
• Do not use it for viral infections, and do not share it with anyone else.

Azee XL 100 mg/5 mL Dry Syrup provides 100 mg of azithromycin in every 5 mL of the prepared syrup. The number of doses per day depends on the infection and the patient’s age, weight, and medical history, and the doctor decides the exact schedule. The maximum daily amount is also set by the prescriber, because dosing with this strength must be individualized rather than guessed.

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