Aziwok 250 Tablet

Aziwok 250 Tablet is an oral antibiotic tablet that contains azithromycin 250 mg 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. Doctors may prescribe Aziwok 250 Tablet for infections such as some throat, skin, sinus, ear, respiratory, and sexually transmitted infections when azithromycin is appropriate.

How it works: Azithromycin in Aziwok 250 Tablet works by blocking bacteria from making proteins they need to grow and multiply. Because this is an oral tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help clear the infection at the prescribed dose.

Aziwok 250 Tablet is the lower-strength sibling of Aziwok 500 Tablet, so it is often useful when a doctor wants a smaller dose per tablet or a tapered tablet count over the course of treatment. Compared with the 500 mg strength, this 250 mg tablet can make dosing more flexible for patients who need a prescribed regimen based on age, infection type, or tolerance.

• Bacterial throat and tonsil infections
• Sinus infections
• Certain ear infections
• Some skin and soft tissue infections
• Some chest and lung infections
• Certain sexually transmitted infections

• Swallow Aziwok 250 Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly on the schedule prescribed; many azithromycin regimens are once daily, but the exact timing depends on the infection being treated.
• You may take Aziwok 250 Tablet with or without food, but taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• If you take antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium, separate them from this tablet by at least 2 hours.
• Do not skip doses or stop early even if you feel better, because the infection may come back or become harder to treat.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Aziwok 250 Tablet provides azithromycin 250 mg per tablet. The number of tablets taken and how often they are taken depends on the infection and the prescriber’s plan; for many adult regimens, azithromycin is taken once daily, and the daily maximum is the amount your doctor specifically prescribes based on the condition being treated.
