Azilup 100 mg Tablet DT

Azilup 100 mg Tablet DT is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 100 mg of azithromycin in each tablet. It belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not colds or flu. Azilup 100 mg Tablet DT may be chosen when a doctor wants a smaller, easier-to-adjust tablet strength for a specific dosing plan.

How it works: Azithromycin in Azilup 100 mg Tablet DT works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. As an oral tablet, it is swallowed so the medicine can be absorbed into the body and reach the site of infection.

The 100 mg strength is a lower-dose tablet, which can be useful when a doctor needs finer dose adjustment than a higher-strength tablet would allow. Because Azilup 100 mg Tablet DT is not the usual adult starting strength for every infection, it is specifically meant for patients whose prescribed dose matches this 100 mg tablet form.

• Certain bacterial respiratory infections
• Ear infections
• Throat infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Some other doctor-diagnosed bacterial infections

• Take Azilup 100 mg Tablet DT exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet with water unless your prescriber or pharmacist has told you to take it differently.
• Take it at the same time each day if you are prescribed repeated doses.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better before the tablets are gone.

Each Azilup 100 mg Tablet DT provides 100 mg of azithromycin per tablet. How often you take it depends on the infection being treated and your doctor’s directions; some regimens use one tablet once daily, while others use a different schedule, and the maximum daily amount must be set by the prescriber for your condition. Do not change the dose on your own, because the right number of 100 mg tablets depends on age, weight, infection type, and kidney or liver status.

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