Hi,

Azithral contains azithromycin which belongs to the group of antibiotics known as macrolides is used to treat various types of bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin and eye infection in adults and children. It is also effective in typhoid fever and urinary tract infection (UTI). It should be regularly used at evenly spaced time intervals as prescribed by the doctor. Don't skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if the patient feels better. This will make sure that all the bacteria are killed and they don't become resistant. Stopping the medication too early may lead to the return or worsening of the infection.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician
