Azispan 100 mg Tablet

Azispan 100 mg Tablet 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 viral illnesses like colds or flu. Azispan 100 mg Tablet may be chosen when a doctor wants a lower-strength azithromycin option for a tailored dosing plan.

How it works: Azithromycin works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. This tablet form delivers the medicine by mouth so it can be absorbed and start working through the body against susceptible bacteria.

Azispan 100 mg Tablet is a lower-strength tablet compared with Azispan 250 mg Tablet and Azispan 500 mg Tablet, so it can be easier to fine-tune smaller doses. A doctor may choose this strength for patients who need a more gradual or divided azithromycin dose based on age, body size, infection type, or swallowing needs.

• Bacterial throat and tonsil infections
• Certain ear infections
• Some chest and sinus infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Other bacterial infections prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Azispan 100 mg Tablet with a full glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• 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 can help reduce stomach upset.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is safe to do so.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Azispan 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of azithromycin. How often you take it depends on the infection and your doctor’s directions; some patients take it once daily, while others may need a different schedule using the 100 mg strength. Do not exceed the amount your doctor prescribes, because the correct daily total and maximum dose are individualized for this strength.

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