Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I am medical doctor, an associate in Department of Pediatrics, working with an experienced Pediatrician. I answer on his behalf.

Yes, both Azithrol 100 and Azilide 100 are same. Both contain AZITHROMYCIN an antibiotic which works better for respiratory tract infections.
