Laz 250 mg Tablet

Laz 250 mg Tablet is an oral antibiotic tablet that contains azithromycin 250 mg 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. Laz 250 mg Tablet is prescribed for infections such as some throat, sinus, ear, skin, chest, and sexually transmitted bacterial infections when a clinician decides azithromycin is appropriate. This pack contains 10 tablets, and the exact dosing schedule depends on the infection being treated.

How it works: Azithromycin works by blocking bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. As a tablet, Laz 250 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to reach the infection site and help clear susceptible bacteria.

Laz 250 mg Tablet is a standard lower-strength azithromycin tablet that is often used when a prescriber wants more flexible dosing than a higher-dose tablet. Compared with Laz 1000 mg Tablet, the 250 mg strength is better suited to stepwise dosing plans or shorter daily regimens rather than a single larger dose, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants finer control over the total amount taken. It is not meant to be used as a starting dose on your own without medical guidance.

• Bacterial throat infections
• Sinus infections
• Ear infections
• Skin infections
• Certain chest infections
• Some sexually transmitted bacterial infections

• Swallow Laz 250 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it at the same time each day if you are prescribed more than one dose.

Each Laz 250 mg Tablet provides 250 mg of azithromycin. Depending on the infection, it may be taken once daily or as part of a specific short-course schedule, and the maximum daily amount is determined by the doctor based on the condition being treated. Do not change the dose, combine tablets, or use this product as a substitute for the prescribed regimen without medical advice.
