Azithral 250 mg Tablet DT

Azithral 250 mg Tablet DT is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 250 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. Azithral 250 mg Tablet DT may be prescribed for infections affecting the throat, chest, sinuses, ears, skin, or some sexually transmitted infections when azithromycin is an appropriate choice.

How it works: Azithromycin in Azithral 250 mg Tablet DT stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. By slowing bacterial growth, the tablet helps your immune system clear the infection.

Azithral 250 mg Tablet DT is a mid-strength azithromycin tablet, which can fit common adult and pediatric dosing plans when a doctor wants a 250 mg dose at a time. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this product is chosen for straightforward tablet-based dosing rather than a lower or higher sibling strength. Your prescriber decides whether Azithral 250 mg Tablet DT is the right fit based on the infection, age, weight, and medical history.

• Bacterial throat and tonsil infections
• Sinus infections
• Ear infections
• Chest and bronchial infections
• Skin infections
• Certain sexually transmitted infections

• Take Azithral 250 mg Tablet DT exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet with water unless your pharmacist or prescriber tells you otherwise.

• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.

Each Azithral 250 mg Tablet DT provides 250 mg of azithromycin per tablet. Depending on the infection, it may be taken once daily or in another schedule your doctor selects, and the total amount per day depends on that prescription plan. Do not take more than prescribed, because the correct dose and duration are different for each infection and patient.

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