Azispan 250 mg Tablet

Azispan 250 mg Tablet is an oral antibiotic tablet that contains 250 mg of azithromycin in each tablet. It belongs to the macrolide antibiotic class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Azispan 250 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, skin, ear, or other areas when azithromycin is appropriate.

How it works: Azithromycin in Azispan 250 mg Tablet works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. Because it is a swallowed tablet, it releases the medicine in your digestive tract so the drug can be absorbed into your body and reach the infection site.

Azispan 250 mg Tablet is a mid-range tablet strength that can fit treatment plans needing a 250 mg dose per tablet, often as part of a step-down or multi-day schedule. Compared with Azispan 100 mg Tablet, each tablet delivers more medicine, while Azispan 500 mg Tablet provides a higher amount in fewer tablets; the doctor chooses the strength based on the infection, your age, and your overall health.

• Bacterial respiratory tract infections
• Certain ear infections
• Some skin and soft tissue infections
• Selected throat or sinus infections
• Other azithromycin-susceptible bacterial infections

• Swallow Azispan 250 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly on the schedule prescribed, even if you start feeling better before finishing the course.
• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not double up doses if you miss one; take the missed dose when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose.
• Keep taking the full prescribed course to help prevent the infection from returning or becoming harder to treat.

Each Azispan 250 mg Tablet contains 250 mg of azithromycin, so the number of tablets per dose depends on the prescription. Depending on the infection, it may be taken once daily or on another doctor-directed schedule, and the maximum amount per day is determined by the prescriber for that specific treatment plan. Do not change the dose or frequency on your own, especially with this 250 mg strength.

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